We first met at work, but life eventually took us in different directions and we spent two years apart. After she finished school, a few bold shots were taken in the DMs, and before long we were talking like no time had passed. Our first date took place over Thanksgiving weekend, watching the OSU vs. Michigan game with the boys. What started as a casual hangout quickly turned into something more, and by our third date she was already flying solo to see Dylan in Virginia—pretty clear signs that this was the real deal. After a few months of making long distance work, we realized it was time to stop counting the miles and start building a life together. Cleveland became the place where our relationship truly grew and where we began creating a future side by side. Since then, we’ve been blessed with a beautiful family—our princess, Kinsley, and our two spoiled pups, Theo and Chance. Now our story continues as we say “I do,” beginning the next chapter of our lives together and looking forward to a lifetime of love, laughter, and growing old and gray by each other’s side.
