It all started behind the counter of a McDonald’s when we were just 15 years old. Back then, we were two teenagers in uniforms trying to figure out how to work the fryers and navigate high school life — never imagining we’d one day be planning a wedding together. He met her through her older sister, who he was friends with and worked with at McDonald’s at the time. From the beginning, he liked to stir the pot by teasing her sister about the “cute little sister” he’d met — just to get a reaction. For years she played hard to get like it was her part-time job. But he was persistent, always showing up with that same grin and confidence. And slowly, after a few years of playful back-and-forth, she finally let her guard down. At 17, we officially became “us.” Since then, we’ve grown up together — from finishing school and starting careers to navigating life’s ups and downs, always with each other by our side. Through the years, our love has been built on friendship, laughter, and the kind of bond that only gets stronger with time. Nine years later, he popped the question — and (finally!) she said yes. Now, we’re so excited to celebrate the next chapter of our story with all of you. Thank you for being part of our journey — we can’t wait to see you on our big day!
