We technically worked next door to each other for a while before we ever spoke. She thought he was just some fresh 18-year-old kid. (Spoiler: he was actually 23.) He claims he has always had his eye on her. Their first real interaction? A very awkward “hi” from him in passing that she still teases him about. A few days later, his supervisor walked into her office and said, “That guy eats Chipotle twice a day!” Without missing a beat, she said, “Well yeah… he’s bulking. Haven’t you seen his muscles?” (To this day, he’s still loyal to his Chipotle burrito.) Not long after, she was talking to her best friend about not having a date to her wedding. Her best friend (now matron of honor) and one of the groomsmen (his coworker) decided to play matchmaker. He came over and asked her to go to the wedding with him. That was August. The wedding was in November. But somewhere in between—October 11, 2022, to be exact—we made it official and haven’t looked back since. Since then, we’ve moved a few times, survived a deployment, started a business (him), went back to school (her), and had our greatest adventure yet—welcoming our sweet baby boy in December 2024. Now we’re just doing life together, raising our little family, and getting ready to throw a wedding with all of our favorite people. We seriously can’t wait.
