We started dating back in high school, but we have known each other since middle school. I remember having such a crush on Paul, but I was too afraid to make the first move. It didn't take long for us to realize that we were in love, and we have grown together ever since. Through our teenage years and into our twenties, we’ve been each other’s safe place, growing together, learning from one another, and finding strength in every chapter. Our connection has only deepened with time, and we feel so grateful to have found each other so early in life. We got engaged in December 2024 at our favorite spot...the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. A special place for both of us, we’ve always loved expressing our creativity and love for all things whimsical. It was the perfect backdrop for the next chapter of our story. We can’t wait to celebrate this next adventure surrounded by friends, family, and maybe even a few dragons...who knows. There will be laughter, love, and a dash of whimsy. It’s sure to be a day to remember, and we cannot wait!
