Connor and Audrey met in high school, sharing notebooks, late-night talks, and dreams that felt inseparable. Their days were filled with laughter, whispered secrets, and the kind of connection that made it impossible to imagine life apart. After high school, Connor enlisted in the Marine Corps, answering a call to serve and trading familiar hallways for early-morning drills and the disciplined rhythm of military life, while Audrey went off to college, stepping into lecture halls and chasing new ambitions, carrying his letters in her backpack like a quiet anchor. Though distance stretched between them—measured in miles, time zones, and the uncertainty of their new worlds—they held fast to the love they had built. Against the odds, they made long-distance work, learning to trust, hope, and cherish one another through phone calls, brief visits, and unwavering commitment. Now, after six years of dating—six years of growing, changing, and choosing each other—they finally stand side by side again, ready to begin the next chapter as husband and wife.
