Our story began back in middle school, when I (Caitlyn) fell first — and Will, true to form, flirted just enough to keep me smiling. There may have been a tiny “middle school romance” tucked somewhere in those memories, but mostly it was the spark that took years to grow. When we crossed paths again in 2016 — my freshman year and Will’s sophomore year — everything felt different. What started as a second chance quickly became the beginning of something real. Over the years, we’ve grown together through school, careers, laughter, and a love that has always felt like home. In October 2025, during a trip to Colorado to visit Will’s sister Lexi and her husband Conner, Will proposed at Bridal Veil Falls in Telluride. It was intimate and perfect — just the four of us, surrounded by mountain air and the sound of rushing water — a moment we’ll never forget. Now, after nearly a decade together, we’re so excited to begin the next chapter of our lives and all the forever that still lies ahead.
