After becoming friends in high school, it wasn't long before Peyton started falling for Rocco, but she was too nervous to say anything. Luckily, her best friend spilled the tea and encouraged Rocco to take a chance. We started dating junior year and graduated as high school sweethearts. Following graduation, life pulled us in different directions. Peyton headed off to college while Rocco enlisted in the Marines. Long distance became our biggest challenge, and then it got even harder. In January 2022, Rocco learned he was being stationed in Japan. Before he left, he came to Peyton with a crazy idea: "What if we got married before I go?" Just hours before his flight, we went to the courthouse and made it official. For the next two years, we lived on opposite sides of the world, making the most of every visit and phone call. Now, we are finally home and ready to celebrate our love with the people who mean the most to us.
