We first met in 8th grade, where our bond as friends began to blossom. Though life took us in different directions through high school and into university, we stayed connected sporadically over the years. As adults, our friendship grew stronger, leading us to take the leap into dating despite the distance between our universities. Navigating the challenges of long-distance relationships, we found solace in our connection. In 2021, we made a significant milestone together, purchasing our first home. With our loyal dog, Boone, and two adorable bunnies, our home became a haven of love and laughter. Now, on the brink of marriage, we are filled with excitement for the future. With gratitude for the journey that brought us here, we eagerly anticipate the adventures ahead, knowing that our bond will continue to grow stronger with each passing day.
