It all started back in the halls of Sanderson, where Valen and Dylan shared a class in their very first semester of high school. You would think that's where this beautiful relationship began but this story has a rocky start. Valen loved to tease Dylan (she swears it was playful but he has yet to agree) and he was always quick to respond in turn. As chance would have it this would not be the last that Valen and Dylan would see each other. They both enrolled in the Academy of Finance, and as part of this club they were both assigned to specific classes and had to attend many extra curricular events and meetings. Over time the teasing turned to joking which led to conversations and a deeper friendship. Before they knew it these two young kids went from making fun of each other to being best friends. As the bond started to develop but before it could get serious, college was knocking. During this transitional period, they briefly lost touch but of course as every great love story goes life had other plans. This time in their first semester at a new school, instead of having a class together they had back to back classes in the same room. Even though they had lost touch, the chance encounters between class led to getting coffee or lunch which then led to skipping classes altogether to go to the beach. Before they knew it, they were spending every second together and the relationship was made official. They were lucky enough to be able to go through all the big milestones together: graduating, their first apartment, starting their careers, and buying a house. On May 12th, 2022 Dylan decided to add one more milestone to their ever growing list with a big question. Valen happily said yes and they cannot wait to celebrate this new milestone with all of their friends and family.
