They grew up less than a mile apart, yet their paths never crossed — until August 2016, when they were introduced by a mutual friend. What began as a simple meeting for ice cream at the pier quickly grew into something meaningful. Over the next decade, their relationship deepened through shared laughter, memories both ordinary and unforgettable, and steady support for one another. Together, they grew, built a life they love, and created a true sense of home rooted in love and friendship. Now, as they prepare to take these next steps together, they do so with full hearts and joyful anticipation for what lies ahead. They’re deeply grateful to celebrate this moment with the family and friends who have shared in their story and mean the world to them.
