We were first introduced by our friend Derek at our local Mexican-Burger restaurant, Beninas, in our teens. We shared in zany youthful hijinks along with all of our friends. Then one evening in college the two of us got to talking over tea, and we just never stopped. We’ve been best friends ever since. We’ve spent countless hours on porches and hillsides, dirt roads and roofs, completely enraptured in each other’s company. Seven years of 8am wake up calls, all nighters chatting, book clubs, weight lifting, and walks in the rain (we stayed out so long we both broke our phones) later we stopped trying to fight our connection and started dating. To this day we still give up hours of precious sleep every night yapping. It’s difficult to put a date on when our love story began, because in many ways it feels as if it stands outside of time, always happening. This connection we have is all at once easy as breathing and ever deepening. Now we’d like to celebrate it with you!
