Our story began during a high school band performance at a local baseball game. It was an annual tradition to play the national anthem, but that night turned out to be unforgettable. We were introduced through mutual friends, and from the moment we met, he made me laugh like we’d known each other for years. He didn’t leave my side once, and from that night forward, we grew into the kind of friends who understood each other. After high school, life slowed down during COVID, and in that stillness, we began to see each other in a new light. What started as a deep friendship slowly became something more and on June 8, 2020, we made it official and we’ve been writing our love story ever since.
