We're getting married!

Our Love Story It all began in the fall of 2012, on a college campus buzzing with new beginnings. If you haven’t already heard the story—trust us, it's worth repeating—it all started with matching Ninja Turtle backpacks. Yes, you read that right. Chris, with confidence (and maybe a little curiosity), knocked on Fran’s door and boldly asked, “Can I see the girl with the turtle backpack?” That simple moment sparked something unexpected. We introduced ourselves, laughed, and even snapped a photo together—not knowing that a backpack would become a symbol of something so much greater. Over the years, our paths wove in and out as friends. But eventually, we gave it more than just a shot—we gave it our all. In that journey, we discovered we are each other’s biggest supporters, strongest allies, and truest best friends. As cliché as it may sound, we are the yin to each other’s yang. We balance each other in ways that still surprise us, and yes, we’ve become quite inseparable. Now, as we step into this next chapter, we do so with full hearts and deep gratitude. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our story—your love, encouragement, and belief in us means more than words can express. Here’s to a love that began with a backpack and continues with a lifetime.
