happily ever after

Our story began long before we ever imagined it would turn into this. We grew up knowing each other, crossing paths through grade school and sharing mutual friend groups along the way. But it wasn’t until years later—during one of life’s most unexpected moments—that everything truly changed. In March of 2020, what started as a group of high school friends getting together during what we thought would be an extended college spring break quickly turned into something much bigger. As the world slowed down and uncertainty filled the air, we found something steady in each other. What began as simple conversations turned into hours of FaceTime calls stretching late into the night, even though Kale still had to work early the next morning (sorry, Kale!). By the time summer arrived, life still looked a little different—but we made the most of it. Surrounded by a small circle of friends and family, those warm, quiet months became the foundation of something incredibly special. From that point on, we never looked back. Since then, we’ve built a life filled with laughter, adventure, and so many meaningful moments - and maybe a few trips to Chipotle. We’ve purchased two campers together and spend our summers doing what we love most—relaxing, exploring, and making memories with the people who mean the most to us. Along the way, we’ve celebrated countless milestones with friends and family, all while dreaming and planning for the future we continue to build side by side. What started as a familiar connection turned into something extraordinary, and we are so grateful for every step that led us here.
