It all started back in high school, when we crossed paths for the very first time. Life, as it often does, took us in different directions, but fate had other plans. Years later, we found our way back to each other—and everything changed. One trip to the mountains of West Virginia sealed the deal. Between the fresh air, winding roads, and endless laughter, we realized what we had was something worth holding onto forever. Since then, our love has only grown. Together we’ve built a beautiful life, raising our two sweet girls and loving her oldest son as his stepdad. Our home is full of love, chaos, and joy—the kind of family we always dreamed of. After 5 ½ years, countless memories, and just the right amount of patience, he finally asked the question she had been waiting for. (And of course, she said yes!) Now, we can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter surrounded by the people who mean the most to us.
