We met in Akron when we were both still young, on a night neither of us could have predicted would change everything. What started as a chance encounter quickly turned into something steady, familiar, and real. Over the years, we grew up together—through every season of life, every change, every version of ourselves. After more than 15 years side by side, we’re finally taking the next step and getting married, grateful that our story has always been leading us here.
