Some love stories start with a chance encounter, but ours began way back when we were twelve years old. We first met as kids, never imagining that one day we’d be planning our forever. A few years later, fate stepped in once more, and we crossed paths again in high school at fifteen years old. This time, something just clicked, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. After nearly a decade of growing, dreaming, and making memories together, we celebrated our 8-year anniversary in Hawaii. Surrounded by the sound of waves and endless skies, we took the next step in our story as we became fiances after a surprise proposal. As we get ready to celebrate nine amazing years together this May, we can’t wait to take the next step and say “I do.” We’re so grateful for the love and support of our family and friends and are eager to celebrate this new chapter with you all.
