We never thought our paths would cross again after high school. Life had other plans for us—one of us buried in college classes, the other serving on active military duty. We were living in different worlds, chasing different dreams, and completely unaware that being home for the holidays one year would turn into something so special. What started as Snapchat streaks (IYKYK) quickly became late-night FaceTime calls, endless laughs, and the realization that sometimes the best love stories begin when you’re not looking for one at all. Over the past ten years, we’ve learned just how meaningful it is to grow side by side. There wasn’t one defining moment, but rather a steady and growing sense that we had found something real. We cheered each other on through big dreams and bold moves, discovered how deeply we support one another, laughed a lot, and showed up when it mattered most. While chasing our individual passions, we continued choosing each other every day—patiently cultivating a love that grew stronger with every season, challenge, and shared adventure. As our love continued to grow, so did the quiet certainty that this was forever. What we thought would be just another sweet adventure together—an apple-picking trip to Oak Glen, California—turned into a moment we’ll cherish for a lifetime. Surrounded by crisp air, laughter, and falling leaves, Kim said yes. The proposal was a complete surprise and filled with overwhelming joy. That moment marked the beginning of our next chapter, and now we can’t wait to celebrate our love, our journey, and all the moments still to come as we say “I do.” We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter, say “I do,” and share a whole lot of love and laughter with all of our favorite people.
