We met back in high school and what started as a simple friendship turned into something really special. Over the years, through all of the colleges we attended and places we have traveled we always did it together. In 2020, we bought our first home, and not long after, our little family grew when we brought our dog Kobe home on May 21, 2021. Life with him has brought us so much love and laughter, and we couldn't think of a better day to get married than on his 5th gotcha day - the day that truly made us a family.
