We're getting married!

Although we went to different high schools and didn't really know each other, I always had a little crush on Hewitt. Years later, in our early twenties, he was home on leave and we instantly connected. Just two weeks after we started dating, Hewitt returned to Japan. What we thought would be a temporary distance turned into 11 months apart as COVID changed everyone's plans. During that first year, our relationship was built through scheduled FaceTimes, long conversations, and truly getting to know one another. Seven years later, we're so grateful for the journey that brought us here. What started with a crush and a long-distance leap of faith has grown into a love we can't wait to celebrate. We're so excited to say "yes" to each other and begin this next chapter surrounded by the people we love most.
