Our story began years ago in high school, when our paths first crossed. Though nothing came of it at the time, life had other plans for each of us, and we eventually went our separate ways—unaware that this was only the beginning. Years later, we found our way back to each other, reconnecting when the timing was finally right. From the very first moment, it felt like everything aligned. What started as a familiar face quickly became a deep and undeniable love, and we knew we had found something truly special. We began building a life together, rooted in love, laughter, and shared dreams. After a year, we bought our first home—a place where so many memories have already been made. Then, in November, Matt asked the question that changed everything, turning our journey into a promise of forever. We’re so grateful for the winding path that led us back to one another and can’t wait to begin this next chapter surrounded by the people who mean the most to us.
