For those who may not know, Gage and I are high school sweethearts! Gage sneakily made his first move by asking a mutual friend of ours to add him to a large group chat where he then proceeded to ask for everyone's phone number (although his sole intention was to get mine). Gage and I started talking regularly and spending time with each other in the fall of 2014 and very quickly became inseparable. After months of being joined at the hip, he finally asked me to be his girlfriend on April 10th 2015 while hiking at Matthiessen State Park, which has held a special place in our hearts since that day. Since dating at 16, Gage and I have been by each other's side through so many of life's big moments -- high school graduation, going away to college, graduate school, getting our first apartment, and many more. We feel so lucky that we have been each other's better half through multiple stages of life and cannot wait to see what the future holds for us. We are currently enjoying living in Chicago with our bearded dragon, Clyde, and cannot believe we will be celebrating 10 years together just 2 weeks before our big day!
