We've been friends since we were 15. My best man, Sam, introduced us in front of our high school. We had classes together, had the same mutual friends, partied on the weekends, and our dads even knew each other from work before we even really started hanging out. Six years later I realized the love of my life was in front of me the whole time. It's been an amazing adventure ever since.

In 2006, I was walking home with friends after a freshmen football game. Standing outside of Oak Knoll, we saw a friend who introduced us to Peter (who was rockin’ the sk8ter boi hair). Soon after, we became good friends as we went through high school together in the same “clique”. After 6 years of partying, concerts, and roadtrips together, I realized it was very easy to start loving this guy who had been there all along. It has been the greatest journey growing from friends to becoming deeply in love with each other. We can’t wait to share our wedding day, with all our family and friends, on our 8 year anniversary!

We decided to take our engagement photos/video at Chicago Brewery. A place where we’ve created many memories as just friends and as a couple, including where he asked me to be his girlfriend. Enjoy this glimpse of our love! https://youtu.be/TyMZylwnCoU
