Our love story began long before we even knew it. From our moms throwing each other's baby showers, to toddlers growing up in the same neighborhood, we shared childhood laughter, playdates, and early memories. Fast forward to high school at Seneca Valley, where life brought us back to each other. What started as a rekindled friendship quickly grew into something deeper, and on August 23, 2015, 16-year-old Robby officially asked Bethany to be his girlfriend. (We’re still debating who liked who first!) Since then, it’s been ten amazing years of growing up together - side by side through all of life’s changes. From navigating long-distance love during college, to finally building a home together in Chicago and parenting our sweet little kitty, Mally, every step has deepened our love for each other. Then came our unforgettable trip to Italy. On June 14th, 2024, in the hills of Tuscany, Robby got down on one knee. The moment was so special and deeply emotional- especially for Bethany, who couldn’t stop crying! Some people like to ask Bethany if she saw it coming... let's just say Robby was SURE he had her convinced it was just a “birthday surprise.” (Spoiler: he didn’t. Lol.) We are so blessed for this incredible journey, and we can’t wait to celebrate our next chapter with you as husband and wife.
