We're Getting Married!!

How We Met It all started in the most unexpected way, we had a mutual friend that John was in classes with in High school and she has been my neighbor and one of my good friends since we were babies. Neither of us were looking for anything serious since we were in our earlier parts of high school, but somehow, something just clicked. We enjoyed the young love. We got to fall in love as teenagers, all the giddy, awkward, exciting parts of it. We grew up together, and there was something special about seeing each other change and still choosing each other through it all The First Date John decided to take me to a fancy restaurant (chick-fil-a) for our first date to win over my heart and then we went to Target to walk around and continue to talk and learn more about each other. As any high school girl I was already imagining a second date. That night, we both couldn’t wait and just sat on the phone for hours talking. Growing Together Since that first date, life has been a series of little adventures. From lazy Sundays on the couch enjoying the little moments, to traveling to new places, countless movie nights, long talks and cheering each other on through the highs and lows, learning how to grow with each other and — we've grown not just as individuals, but as a team. We’ve laughed a lot, cried a little, and supported each other through everything. Through every season of life, we’ve chosen each other. The Proposal May 11th 2024 at David Caldwell Historic Park, I was told we were going to be taking family pictures but little did I know the man that wanted to spend forever with was getting down on one knee to ask for my hand in marriage, I cried, he cried it was beautiful. My parents and his parents were there. He chose to propose at the park because we have had some of our amazing memories there and have been a big part of our relationship. It was perfect in its own way, and a moment we’ll never forget. Now, We're Here We can't wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you — the people who have supported, loved, and cheered us on along the way. Thank you for being part of our story. We can’t wait to start this new journey as Mr. & Mrs. Leal!
