We both grew up in Chesapeake, attended Great Bridge Presbyterian Church, and graduated from Great Bridge High School. Despite crossing paths over the years, we didn't actually meet and get to know each other until the summer of 2019. Cory became friends with Emily's twin brother, Jason, through the church softball team. Cory started hanging out with Jason's friends and eventually started spending time with Jason's family - where he met Emily! We started spending time together and soon became best friends. We truly became best friends before we started dating! :)
