Our story begins in Connecticut, thanks to a few mutual friends and a drill weekend. When we first crossed paths, John didn’t say much. In fact, I thought he was a little standoffish. Eventually, he admitted he was just nervous to talk to me. Either way, once we finally started talking, we never stopped. The moment we actually started talking, everything changed. We connected instantly, as if we had known each other forever. Conversation flowed so easily that neither of us wanted it to end. And honestly—it hasn’t stopped since. From that first spark to countless shared laughs, adventures, and late-night talks, we’ve been inseparable ever since. Now, we can’t wait to continue our conversation for the rest of our lives.
