We first met while ice skating at the Belmont Complex. We were just 13 and 14 at the time, two teenagers who had no idea what was beginning that day. Not long after, we went on our first date to the Kittanning Folk Festival. We spent the evening walking through the crowds, listening to music, and talking! Since 2014, we’ve grown up together. From high school to college to everything in between, we’ve shared so many chapters of life with each one bringing us closer. We’ve built a relationship on laughter, friendship, and deep love, learning along the way what it means to truly grow with someone. On December 23, 2024, Austin brought our story full circle. We went to visit the Christmas trees at Riverfront Park, the same place where we had our first date. Surrounded by lights and memories, he asked the easiest question I’ve ever had to answer. What started as a young love story has turned into a partnership built on years of shared history, inside jokes, quiet moments, and big dreams. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you.
