We met through mutual friends, freshman year of high school. We instantly became best friends and spent the next four years growing together, having fun together, confiding in one another and (while we didn't know it at the time) building a strong and supportive foundation for our relationship to come. After high school, Mason went off to UCSB, while I (Paige) went to Cal Poly SLO. In most cases, distance is cause for growing apart, however in our case, it only brought us closer together and strengthened our friendship. After consistently talking and visiting each other during our first year of college, we realized that our relationship could be more than just friends. Fast forward 6 years, Mason decided to propose to me in Sayulita, Mexico, on a cliff over looking a beautiful sunset over the ocean. I immediately said yes and we spent the rest of the trip celebrating with our families. After being best friends for 12 years, and dating for 7, we can't wait to celebrate our love with our close family and friends! The decision to spend forever with someone is the easiest one when that person is your best friend. #turningthepaigetopalmer
