Our story began long before we realized it would. Though we officially met in April 2024, our paths had already quietly crossed—John was a friend of Demi’s sisters, a familiar name before becoming something much more. When John finally made the first move, everything felt natural, as if the timing had simply fallen into place. What started as a connection soon grew into something deeper, filled with laughter, love, and the kind of certainty you don’t question. What followed was a love that grew with intention, grace, and joy. In the middle of a Chicago snowstorm, surrounded by falling snow and winter magic, John asked Demi to be his forever—and she said yes. From then on, it was clear that this was always meant to be our story and we are grateful for a love that was always being guided into place.
