We met when we were 16 while our families were living in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area. We attended the same youth program and admittedly had little crushes on each other. We were both incredibly shy and our interactions with each other were few and far between. During the summer of 2015, Drew's family moved away from PA and we began to pursue conversations with each other via Snapchat. For what felt like ages we kept in regular contact solely through social media as well as email while we both served two-year missions for our church. In October of 2021, we had our first date and saw each other in person for the first time in over 6 years.
Drew proposed in front of the castle at Walt Disney World; a total surprise but the perfect ending to a childhood dream of mine.
