It all began in high school—junior year, to be exact—when we first met. Back then, we had no idea the incredible journey that lay ahead. Eight years later, we’ve grown up together, celebrated milestones big and small, and stood by each other through every twist and turn of this beautiful adventure. From high school graduation to navigating life as college students—and now stepping into the world as college graduates—we’ve shared countless memories, learning, growing, and figuring out adulthood side by side. Through it all, we’ve found joy in the simplest moments—laughing together, dreaming about the future, and drawing strength from each other. But our story isn’t just about us. As we’ve grown, so has the love that surrounds us. Our families have become one, and our friends have been by our side every step of the way—cheering us on, offering wisdom, and sharing in our happiest moments. Their unwavering love and support have shaped us both individually and as a couple, and we are forever grateful for the village that has walked this journey with us. Through it all, God’s guidance has been our foundation. His faithfulness has carried us through every high and low, and His grace continues to lead us forward. We feel incredibly blessed to have the people we love standing beside us as we take this next step in our lives together. As we begin this new chapter—our forever—we do so with hearts full of love and excitement for the future. Looking back, every moment has shaped us into the couple we are today, and we know that the best is yet to come. Hand in hand, we’re ready to take on whatever life brings, building a life filled with love, laughter, and endless adventures. We can’t wait to celebrate this next step together—and to begin the rest of our lives as husband and wife.
