Our story began way back in elementary school, but things really clicked in middle school. We rode the same school bus, hung out with the neighborhood crew, and met up in the hallway between classes. We were best friends - the kind of friendship where everything just felt natural and easy. At the time, we were convinced that we would never be more than that. But in eighth grade, that dynamic shifted. We finally worked up the nerve to tell each other how we truly felt... and well, the rest is history. Since then, we've grown up side by side navigating the ups and downs of life, cheering each other on, and building a home filled with love (and two very spoiled fur babies). We've been through every phase together, and we honestly wouldn't have it any other way. Now, after all these years, we're so excited to say "I do" and start this next chapter of our story!
