To this day I am still blown away by how wild our love story is. At the wedding of a family friend in May of 2018, my mom walked up to me and gushed, "Caroline, I just met your future husband." Of course I called her crazy and went about the evening - until I found myself sitting across the table from him. That guy was Tom. We were both too shy to say anything that night, but I remember watching him walk out of the wedding and thinking, "this is not the last time I'll see him." Fast forward a few months and Tom and I had reconnected. He was living in Fort Worth, Texas at the time and I was in Rochester, New York. We decided that I'd start visiting him in Texas, and after just 4 visits we knew we had something special. In January 2020 after i received a job offer in Texas, Tom flew up to New York to drive us across the country so we could start our life together. It was the biggest leap of faith either of us had ever taken, but something was telling us it would all work out. After a year in Texas, navigating a pandemic together, moving into a new house, and adopting a puppy... Tom proposed while we were home in Rochester visiting family. Needless to say, my mom was right! - Caroline xoxoxo
