Our story began back in middle school, 6th grade becoming what we considered boyfriend and girlfriend. Then the end of 6th grade, John moved to his new school, and at the time, we had no idea how important that moment would one day be. We didn’t see each other again until 9th grade, when our paths crossed once more—this time as friends. For years, we stayed just that: friends. It wasn’t until our senior year of high school in 2013 that everything changed and we began dating. What started as a friendship grew into a love that has stood the test of time. Since then, we’ve grown up together, built a life side by side, welcomed two beautiful sons, and turned our first house into a home filled with love and laughter. Every chapter has brought us closer, and we wouldn’t change a single moment of our journey. Now, we’re so excited to celebrate our forever and begin this next chapter as husband and wife, surrounded by the people who have been part of our story all along.
