Our story technically began long before either of us knew it was a love story. We first knew each other in high school, where we crossed paths, shared the same world, and even danced together at homecoming. Romantic, right? Well, almost. Because after that dance, in true teenage fashion, we never really spoke to each other again. Life took us in different directions, as it tends to do. Years passed, seasons changed, and we each grew into new versions of ourselves. Then, six years ago, we reconnected, and this time, something was different. What once was a brief high school memory became the beginning of something real, steady, and beautiful. Since then, we have built a life full of laughter, growth, patience, adventure, and love. We have learned what it means to choose each other through ordinary days, big changes, and all the little moments in between. Our love has become more than a relationship; it has become a home. And the greatest gift of our story is our little love, Ellie. She is the sweetest reminder of everything we have created together and the beautiful future we are building as a family. What started with a homecoming dance has turned into the love of a lifetime. Now, surrounded by the people we love most, we are so excited to celebrate the next chapter of our story.
