We met on the very first day of our Freshman year in High School, during History class. By chance or perhaps fate, we were seated directly across from each other. That day marked the beginning of a meaningful friendship, and over time, blossomed into something much more. On December 15, 2017, we officially began our journey together. The start of a beautiful story filled with growth, love and many ups and downs. From high school sweethearts to now preparing to marry nine years later, we decided to keep the date that started it all.
