We first met as sophomores in high school and started dating in June 2017. What began as a teenage relationship turned into something much bigger. We grew up together, cheering each other on through exams, sports, late-night study sessions, and the excitement of senior year. When it came time for college, there was no question that we were heading into the next chapter together. Both of us chose Grand Valley State University, where we built new friendships, discovered passions, and tackled the challenges of college life while always having each other to lean on. In April of 2023, we walked across the stage together at graduation, closing one chapter and stepping into the next. Since then, we have made our home in Grand Rapids, a city that holds our favorite restaurants, coffee shops, and memories, and where we continue to grow together every day. From high school sweethearts to college graduates to building a life together, our story is one of love that has grown right alongside us. Now, we are so excited to celebrate our next chapter with all of you by our side.
