High School Sweethearts

"And They Say High School Relationships Won't Last"

Destined from the start!

Our Love Story

Emily and Ari have known each other since 4th grade and have gone to the same school ever since. In 8th grade, they dated for a little bit and went separate ways before high school. Sophomore year of high school came around, Emily a shy and quiet girl and Ari a high school jock and class clown, hung around different cliques and didn’t speak to each other. But on October 2nd, 2016, sophomore homecoming they rekindled. They spent their high school year living the teenage dream of being young and in love. They went on little dates, and did school work together, Emily cheered Ari on at his football and lacrosse games and even won Prom King and Queen at their senior prom. High School Graduation came around and a year after, Emily and Ari moved into their first apartment. Of course that came with challenges but it just made them stronger as a couple. As Emily and Ari entered their 20s, they were adjusting to growing up as adults, navigating the world together. They went on multiple dates and traveled to different countries, went through a global pandemic to career and life changes. On October 2nd, 2023, they took a trip for their 7-year anniversary to Italy. Ari decided it was the perfect time for a grand gesture. On a beautiful Positano night, Ari and Emily were having a romantic anniversary dinner and he got down on one knee and popped the question. Spoiler Alert: Emily said yes! Through the highs and lows, through growing up together. Now, they are gearing up for happily ever after. Mark your calendars for April 3rd. 2025- because that's when they will say "I DO" and begin the next chapter of their love story! Matthew 19:6 " So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate"
