Every great love story has a beginning, and ours started with a friendship. We met at California State University, Long Beach through business classes, mutual friends, and the unforgettable adventures that come with college life. Neither of us knew then that the person we’d laugh with, learn beside, and share countless memories with would one day become our forever. As the years passed, life brought us even closer when we became housemates with friends. The more time we spent together, the more we realized our shared values, sense of adventure, and genuine enjoyment of one another’s company made us something truly special. Weekend after weekend, we built a friendship rooted in trust, laughter, and love. Then, on the stairs of the home where so many memories had already been made, one kiss changed everything. Since that moment, we’ve chosen each other every day, and we’re so thankful our journey has led us here. We can’t wait to celebrate the beginning of our next chapter with all of you.
