Connor and I grew up in the same hometown, same high school and even the same friends. Somehow, our paths never fully crossed until the moment they were meant to. Just before Connor was heading off to college, we finally found each other, and from the very beginning, we both knew this was something special. It didn’t take long to realize this was a forever kind of love. Soon after we met, we were faced with four years of long distance. While it wasn’t always easy, that time became the foundation of our relationship. We learned how to communicate, trust deeply, and appreciate every moment together. Distance didn’t weaken us it made us stronger. In May 2024, Connor asked me to spend forever with him, and I said yes. Since then, we’ve been dreaming up ideas for our big day and soaking in every moment of this season.
