We first crossed paths in high school, though it feels like we were meant to find each other from the very start. Our friend groups overlapped, so we knew of each other, but it was during our high school formal dance that we truly connected. Despite arriving with different dates, we seemed to gravitate toward each other. There was this immediate, unexplainable comfort that felt like home. From our very first kiss, there was a spark neither of us could ignore. It was the beginning of something incredible. Now, 13 years later, we've gone from high school sweethearts to long-distance partners through college, and here we are, about to say "I do." We've grown together, weathered every storm, traveled the world, bought a home, and made countless memories that we’ll cherish for a lifetime. With the best yet to come, we can’t wait to celebrate our journey with all of our closest family and friends on our wedding day!
