It all started back in middle school, the era of friend swapping, hallway crushes, and “on-and-off again” romances. Somewhere in the middle of all that teenage chaos, we found each other. What started as a middle school spark grew into a high school love story that stood the test of time. Through high school and into college at UWL, our love continued to evolve (and, let’s be honest, probably gave our friends a few gray hairs along the way). There were rants, laughter, late-night talks, and a few dramatic “breaks” — but no matter what, we always found our way back to each other, stronger every time. Somewhere along the way, we realized we weren’t just dating our high school sweetheart — we’d found our best friend, soulmate, and partner in every sense of the word. When he finally proposed in the rain in front of the Capitol, it felt like something straight out of The Notebook — a real-life Noah and Allie moment that perfectly captured our story. Now, after years of growing up and growing together, we’re finally stepping into the next chapter...marriage. It’s the moment we’ve always known was meant to be, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate it with those who’ve supported us from the very beginning and those who’ve joined our story along the way. Here’s to forever — to every chapter that brought us closer to this one.
