Our story began years ago when we were in the same fifth-grade class, although our friendship truly began in eighth grade when we were teacher’s assistants together. This friendship soon blossomed into pre-teen crushes and cringey Facebook messages. Being the shy and awkward girl I was, I felt way too nervous to be Dane's girlfriend. A couple of years passed, and we reconnected junior year of high school. Dane, Anthony (his best man), and I were all in the same English class. While I had a BIG crush on Dane, nothing ever came of it as the timing wasn’t right! Fast forward to 2021, both of us are 23 years old, living our own lives. Anthony reached out to catch up, mentioning that he was living in San Diego with none other than Mr. Dane Taglienti himself. I not-so-casually mentioned my big high school crush, and Anthony suggested we all go out one night. We all met up in Gaslamp, San Diego, alongside Nikki (my maid of honor), we had a great time catching up. We went on our first official date a couple weeks later to see the snow in Idyllwild with our favorite girl Lucy! 6 months later I was moving into Dane and Anthony’s apartment and the rest is history! Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your love and support mean the world to us as we start this next chapter together! With love, THE BRIDE
