We met in fourth grade and quickly became friends. By fifth grade, that friendship turned into a sweet, elementary-school version of “dating.” We went our separate ways for a bit, but in ninth grade we found our way back to each other — and we’ve been inseparable ever since. From elementary school memories to growing into who we are today, we truly grew up side by side. We’ve shared the awkward years, the big milestones, and everything in between. What started as a childhood friendship became a love built on years of history, growth, and choosing each other through every season. We’re so excited to keep building our life together.
