The Start of Something New
We were so close, yet so far. In 2012, we were living parallel lives in North Carolina—never crossing paths, but unknowingly inching closer to the love of a lifetime. Ten years later, fate finally stepped in (with a little help from Hinge), and everything changed. From the very beginning, we felt like we had known each other forever. Our shared love for High School Musical sing-alongs, being near the water, spontaneous travel, great food, music, and most importantly—our families—brought us even closer. We quickly discovered that life is just better when we’re doing it together. We are rooted in family, fueled by adventure, and always up for trying something new. We love hard, laugh often, and support each other through it all. Our love is deep, true, and only growing stronger as we take the next step into marriage. This is only the beginning, and we can't wait to share the rest of this beautiful journey with you.
