We met in middle school at St. Edwards, where we started dating in eighth grade and never looked back. From there, we grew through high school and continued our journey together during our years at Virginia Tech. Every stage of life has shaped us together, and our story has been built on shared memories, growth, and a love that has only deepened from the very beginning.

One day before our ten-year anniversary, Austin proposed in Miami, turning an already meaningful milestone into a truly unforgettable moment. A spring break trip quickly became something extraordinary as both of our families and closest friends were there to celebrate with us. Being surrounded by so much love, laughter, and support made the proposal even more special, and it felt like a perfect reflection of the life we have built together. It was a beautiful way to honor a decade of memories and officially begin the next chapter of our lives.
