Our story started back in 2012 when we met in seventh grade. What began as a middle school friendship quickly turned into something much more, and from a young age we always talked about the future we hoped to build together. We spent our teenage years growing up side by side, making memories through every season of life. From high school football games — cheering him on from the sidelines — to building a life together today, our story has always felt meant to be. After all these years, we are finally getting ready for the moment we dreamed about as kids: becoming husband and wife.
