We grew up as next‑door neighbors, meeting for the first time while playing basketball outside. What started as childhood games quickly became a deep friendship that carried us through middle school and high school. We were inseparable, never realizing we were each other’s quiet high‑school crush. After graduation, life took us in different directions. We each pursued school, chased our goals, and built the foundations of the lives we dreamed of. One of us explored Asia and Europe, while the other traveled through South America. We grew, learned, and lived, never knowing that life would eventually bring us back together. Fifteen years later, we reconnected, and everything fell naturally into place. A few dates became many, and soon we were creating new adventures, moving into our home in Brentwood, and traveling to places that now hold pieces of our story. In December 2025, in beautiful Buenos Aires, we got engaged and took the next step toward forever. Now our journey brings us to Lima Peru, where we get to celebrate surrounded by the people we love most. As we begin this next chapter as husband and wife, our hearts feel full and hopeful for all that’s ahead. It’s incredible to think that everything began with a simple moment in childhood, a reminder that the most beautiful love was always close to home.
