Despite growing up ~1,000 miles apart, we found each other in 2016 at Furman University. The start of our journey is filled with many funny coincidences and details - some happening by chance, others by Daniel's own engineering (depending on who is telling the story). From study hall where Daniel tried to put in a good word via Tess' advisor, many campus run-ins, and a chance grocery store run, our paths kept crossing. Either way, both of us knew that we had found our best friend and that we wanted to spend the rest of our life with each other. The following 7 years of our lives have been filled with many exciting phases that we have been able to forge through together: two college graduations, the start & end of athletic careers, a masters degree, new jobs & career changes, moving in together, our first pets, many vacations, and more. Despite all of the changes in our lives, we have always known that we would be laughing together along the way and facing whatever challenges together as a team. We are excited to continue our journey into this next chapter of marriage surrounded by the people we love so dearly. Thank you all for helping shape these past years, celebrating us in the present, and supporting us in the future!
