We met at Southeastern, first in Advanced Writing, and later in Spanish II. Our relationship officially began on May 12, 2021 after a number of lengthy, non-traditional dates (for example, a thirteen hour first date that began with a coffee shop and ended with a trip to the airport and, less than a week later, picking up trash along the road for a couple hours when we had originally intended on only going on a hike). We both knew pretty early on that we wanted to share our lives with each other; talk of marriage came quickly, then we made it official in January. We are both so very excited to continue pursuing this partnership with each other; we are thrilled to share it with you all; we pray that this is a beautiful reflection of Christ's love for the Church.
