Our story began junior year of college on a study abroad trip to Costa Rica — a time in our lives when everything felt simple, sunny, and full of possibility. What started as an unexpected connection quickly grew into a love that has carried us through nine years of adventure, growth, and more than a few airport goodbyes. For over five years, we navigated long distance while building our dreams from different places, learning what it meant to choose each other even when miles apart. That choice has shaped everything that came after: buying our first home, filling it with laughter (and two very spoiled dogs), and creating a life that feels steady, joyful, and deeply ours. We met when life was carefree, but we’ve grown into a partnership built on trust, resilience, and a foundation we know will last a lifetime. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people who have supported us along the way, in a place that is so close to our hearts
