Before we ever met at Franklin High, our story had already started — our parents knew each other, almost like life was setting us up before we were even born. Then came freshman year in Stockton, two 14-year-olds trying to survive high school. In those crowded halls, we crossed paths, not knowing we were meeting the person who would one day mean everything. What began as a simple connection between two kids grew into a love that survived life, mistakes, growth, and choosing each other again and again. Now we’re here — engaged, building the future that started long before we even realized. Our love story didn’t begin the day we met… it began the moment life put our families in each other’s path. And now it’s becoming forever.
