Our Love Story

Every love story has a beginning...

For years, the boy was simply friends with the girl's brother. Their paths crossed countless times growing up, yet somehow the two of them never truly spoke. They existed in the same circles but were strangers to each other. Until they weren't... One carefree float trip brought them together at last. What began as a fun summer weekend among friends quickly became the moment that changed everything. One night, the girl found herself frightened in a quiet cabin and called her brother for help. He and his friends were staying at another Airbnb about ten minutes away. When he told them what was going on, the boy didn't hesitate- he volunteered to go and make sure the girl was ok. This was the beginning of something magical. From that night on, a friendship began to grow. The more time they spent together, the more they realized that something special had quietly taken root between them. Before long, that friendship blossomed into a love neither of them expected, but both were meant to find. The boy who had once been just a close family friend became so much more. And now, after all the small moments and perfectly timed events that brought them together, they are so excited to begin their next chapter side by side. Excited to begin it surrounded by the people who helped write the beginning of their story.
