We met during junior year of high school when he joined band, and from the moment I saw him, I knew I needed to get his attention somehow. Instead of playing it cool, I decided to write him a poem and secretly leave it in his locker - because apparently subtlety was never really my thing. Thankfully it worked. Not long after, he asked me on our first date to see Playing with Fire. Between the awkward high school nerves, laughing through the movie, and trying way too hard to act casual, that night ended up being the start of everything. What began as a sweet high school crush quickly turned into years of laughter, support, memories, and growing up together. Over the years, we've been through so many stages of life side by side, and somehow he still makes me laugh every single day. From band hallways and movie dates to planning forever together, our story has always felt a little unexpected, a little funny, and completely meant to be.
