What began as a surprise visit turned into their first official date at a drive-in movie—and from that moment on, they were inseparable. Despite being three hours apart while attending different colleges, they spent every free moment together, making long drives every weekend just to see one another.

What started as a high school friendship has grown into a beautiful love story. They are so excited to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people who have supported and loved them every step of the way.
