It all started on August 16, 2012 a random video chat between middle schoolers turned into the beginning of everything. What was just a casual conversation quickly turned into late-night laughs, inside jokes, and becoming best friends. Somewhere along the way, best friends turned into high school sweethearts. We grew up together through proms, awkward phases, late-night drives, and all the chaos that comes with being teenagers. College brought new adventures and challenges, but we faced it all side by side, always cheering each other on. In 2021, before all the craziness of dental school really kicked off, Joey popped the question. We were on a group trip to Florida with some of our closest friends, soaking up the sun and making memories. One night, he surprised me with a horseback ride during the most beautiful sunset and right there on the beach, he asked me to marry him. We didn’t know exactly where life was going to take us, but we knew we wanted to go there together. After graduation, life got a little more real (and a lot busier). Joey started dental school, and I jumped into my career in radiology. Even with long days and jam-packed schedules, we still made time for the things that matter most like takeout nights, long talks, and weekend trips. We moved in together, and our little family grew when we brought home our English bulldog, Bruno who runs the house now, obviously. Now here we are finally planning a wedding with the people we love most by our side, after over 13 years of growing up, growing together, and sharing this wild, beautiful journey. It’s been a long time coming, and we couldn’t be more excited (and maybe a little emotional) to finally say “I do.” Thanks for being part of our story we truly can’t wait to celebrate with you!
