We first met as freshman in high school, running around the streets of Kinderhook with our friends. It didn't take long for us to realize we had a special connection that was destined to be more than just friendship. Our high school friend group was truly inseparable, and we spent countless hours together as we transitioned into sophomore year. By the end of that summer, Nate officially asked me to be his girlfriend, and I enthusiastically said yes- honestly, I had already claimed that title in my head! We've literally grown up together, which is such a cherished aspect of our relationship. Fast forward 15 years, and here we are, with our own home, our fur baby Jax, and preparing to get married, surrounded by our closest family and friends who have been there from the very beginning.
