Although our paths crossed a couple years prior, our story really began in the fall of 2017. After returning from college, we quickly realized that we had a lot of mutual friends and one of Rachel's friends was Henry’s cousin. She also quickly realized that he had a LOT of cousins! So that fall, we effortlessly became close friends. The more people spent time with the two of us, the more we were constantly reminded that we should date. Despite popular opinion, Rachel politely declined Henry's early offers but soon realized he was not only her best friend but he was her soulmate...and the rest is history! We got engaged in the summer of 2021 at our favorite Italian restaurant, surrounded by the love of our two awesome families, and now we can't wait to celebrate our marriage with everyone in June in our hometown!
