You could say our story began at a high school homecoming dance in 2016… but to be honest, one of us (Audrey) was less than thrilled about it at the time. When our mutual friends set us up for the dance, Audrey was a very cool and mature sophomore, and Michael was just a ~freshman~. Let’s just say she wasn’t exactly swooning. In fact, she spent most of the slow songs hiding in the bathroom to avoid dancing with him. (No one judge, she was only 15 at the time and never had a boyfriend before) And yet… here we are. Despite Audrey’s initial reluctance (and impressive evasive maneuvers), something shifted. A few months later, in December, we officially started dating, and from that point on, everything just clicked. Over the years, our relationship grew alongside us. We went from awkward teenagers, to best friends who know each other better than anyone else ever could. We’ve been together through high school drama, college stress, long drives, short tempers, late-night snack runs, and every phase of life in between. We’ve built a life full of laughter, growth, and unconditional support. And after nearly a decade of love, we’re finally getting married and we couldn’t be more excited! What started as one slightly forced high school dance has turned into a forever kind of love (who would’ve guessed?!). We’re so thankful for all the people who’ve been a part of our journey, and we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with you!
