Our story began back in high school—I was a sophomore, and Ethan was a senior. It all started with a direct message from Ethan, from there, we hit it off. We became best friends, texting non-stop and sharing everything with each other. Our first date was ice skating, and it was as fun and memorable as you’d imagine. The moment Ethan came to the front door to pick me up, my parents knew he was something special, and they’ve loved him ever since. We both headed off to the University of Maryland, where we continued to grow our relationship. There, we found ourselves in the same amazing group of friends, including those in our bridal party. After graduation, we spent two wonderful years living together in Baltimore before taking the big step of buying our first home in August 2024. Throughout all of this, we’ve shared so much—our favorite memories with family and friends, traveling and adventures, and a love that only grows stronger. We’re so thankful for the life we’ve built together and are so excited to see what the future holds.
