Our Story
Ian and I met during our junior year of high school. Although we shared classes, our story truly began when we started dating in 2017.
We went to different colleges — I attended the University of Illinois and Ian went to Bradley University — but our bond never wavered. After graduation, we bought a house and created a home full of laughter and love.
Our relationship is rooted in joy. We joke daily, play games Ian somehow always wins, and love cooking together. Ian may be the better chef, but I’m the one who gets him dancing in the kitchen — even with his two left feet.
On April 27, 2025, Ian surprised me with a proposal during a beach photoshoot in Panama City Beach. Overcome with happy tears, I forgot to say “yes” right away — though the answer was always clear.
We’re not only partners but best friends. Our high school sweetheart story has grown into a beautiful journey, and now, surrounded by family and friends, we’re ready to celebrate forever!
For all the days along the way
