We met when we were just 12 years old. What started as a friendship quickly grew into a bond that would shape the rest of our lives. We spent all of our school days together and left each other voicemails on our slide phones at night—sometimes consisting of nothing more than singing Justin Bieber songs. At 14 years old, one of us finally realized we were meant to be more than best friends, and we've been together ever since. We spent most of high school side by side before heading off to the University of Louisville together. Over the years, we've even worked three different jobs together—proving that we really do like doing everything together. After 12 years of dating (and plenty of encouragement from our family and friends), Scoop finally proposed on June 26, 2025, surrounded by our loved ones on the beach. We've grown up together, navigated life's ups and downs, and remained each other's rock through it all. We are so grateful for every chapter of our story so far, and we can't wait to begin our next one as husband and wife.
