It all began freshman year of college, when we were just two young students adjusting to a new chapter in life. Back then, we were simply friends, navigating the ups and downs of college life together. We became inseparable, spending time talking, laughing, and supporting each other through everything. Our friendship was effortless and filled with joy, and for a while, that was all it was. But as time went on, something shifted. We started seeing each other in a new light, and it became clear that our connection was deeper than just friendship. Slowly, our relationship blossomed into something more, built on a strong foundation of trust, laughter, and shared values. We took things one step at a time, giving ourselves the space to grow and allowing our relationship to flourish naturally. Looking back, it feels like every moment prepared us for this incredible journey we’re now on together. Today, we’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter with all of you—our friends and family who have supported us every step of the way. This love story is ours, but it wouldn’t be complete without you. Thank you for being part of it! -Lauren & Cooper-
