We met in March 2021 after both accepting management roles at our company in the same department. What started as a meeting of the professional quickly blossomed into a friendship which -- unbeknownst to us -- set the foundation for true love. Over the 2 years we worked, supported, and laughed with each other side-by-side, we realized we couldn't envision our lives without the other in it. We chose to pursue a long-distance relationship and never looked back! Every choice we've made since then has simply felt right. From long-distance visits, to moves across state lines, and finally to one particularly cold morning on an Appalachian mountain, we always found our next step to be not only easy but somehow destined. Often we quote the saying, "when you know, you know," and it was something neither of us believed until we met each other. We are so happy to celebrate with all of you and add each of you to our story.
