15 years later- we still do!

We were only 20 years old when we first crossed paths at an evening parade in Washington DC. He was stationed there with the marine corps- focused, grounded and disciplined. I was something else entirely: young, carefree and very much the "go wherever the wind takes me type" The meeting was brief, but the next day we found our way back to each other. What followed was a night of walking neighborhood streets at 2AM, sharing stories, laughter and a milk carton filled with tequila and orange juice-the kind of night that somehow changes everything. Just 70 days later we found ourselves in a lawyer's tiny basement, with hearts full of excitement (and a little stupidity) promising forever to each other- without knowing what the future would bring, only that we wanted to face it together. Most people thought we were crazy- maybe we were- but we believed in what we had. 15 years later, we're still choosing each other- through every season, challenge and joy. We are so grateful for the life we built and can't wait to celebrate where we've been- and where we're going- with you!
