We met during the very last week of college (Go Knights!) at a sorority-fraternity social, both dressed as old ladies—him in a dress, me with carefully drawn-on wrinkles. What started as a lighthearted, not-so-serious night turned into something neither of us expected. That night, we both went our separate ways, thinking it was just a fun memory, but a few days later—and with a little push from our friend Mel—he messaged me on Instagram to ask for my number. When we first started talking, neither of us imagined it would turn into anything serious. Graduation was right around the corner, and we were preparing to go our separate ways—me heading back to Wisconsin, and him staying in Orlando. It felt like one of those fleeting, end-of-college moments. But from that moment forward, everything just clicked, and we were inseparable. That “see you later” only lasted a couple of weeks before I found myself back in Orlando. What began in laughter quickly turned into something much deeper, and we’ve been side by side ever since. Over the past eight years, we’ve grown up together, navigated life side by side, and built a love that feels both steady and exciting all at once. What started as a chance meeting has turned into a life we’re so proud of—now calling Miami home, building a house together, and raising our sweet dog, Cookie. We’re so grateful for everything that’s brought us here and can’t wait for this next chapter and all the memories still to come.
