Most of you know that we have known each other since we were little ones. While our parents were having fun playing sand volleyball, we played on the playground together. However the story doesn't start there, our families have always been connected in some way, with Lyss's Uncle Keith hanging with Monk's Mom, Brenda in high school, to Brenda playing softball with Lyss's Mom, Gigi's high school best friend. Our lives were meant to be together, it was all a matter of when. Our love story started when we were in our sophomore year of high school, all on a roller hockey court. We went from being friends hanging out everyday at Millennium Park, to quickly knowing we have a love for each other that couldn't be broken. We over came so many obstacles, from staying together all three years of high school, to five years of college being 300 miles apart. It was not easy but love and trust is what got us through it. Now being in our mid 20's and talking about our wedding day, it is really our dreams coming true, with the proof written within our high school love notes (that we cannot wait to share on our big day)! We have so many memories together, with friends and family, and now we cannot wait to create this new memory with all of you, as we become husband and wife! We have been together for now almost 11 years and with all of our memories and love we have for each other, we know that this is truly what is meant to be! Our love is rare and something we love to share, so please join us as we make our young love, one that is truly going to last forever!
