Our story began long before we ever imagined it would turn into a lifelong love. We first met as kids at Chesterfield Day School, always paired up because of our similar heights and last names. Our moms became fast friends as class moms and book club buddies — a friendship that’s still going strong today. We stayed close through middle and high school, sharing classes, friends, and memories. It wasn’t until our senior year that our friendship turned into something more, and by the time we went to the University of Colorado Boulder together, we knew it was the real thing. From childhood classmates to college sweethearts, we’ve grown side by side — through every stage, every challenge, and every laugh. Our families have blended beautifully, and after all these years, we’re still “for lifers” — only now, forever truly means forever!
