In May 2012, we were introduced by a mutual friend on the night of Daniel's 21st birthday. We instantly made a connection and started dating shortly thereafter. The next six months were a whirlwind of adventures and emotions. Being young, stubborn, and trying to figure our lives out, we parted ways thinking we'd never see each other again. However, thirteen years later, fate had other plans.  In June 2024, our lives crossed paths once again. What started as a message asking how each other had been quickly turned into hours-long phone conversations. Within two weeks, Daniel made the four-and-a-half-hour drive to Tennessee, and over the next few months, we spent weekends together, switching between Ohio and Tennessee, going on new adventures and reminiscing about old ones. By September, we decided that only seeing each other on weekends wasn't enough, so Daniel moved to Tennessee. By May 2025, we both knew that this was going to be our forever; we were both finally back 'home.' Daniel proposed in our favorite creek (the same place our engagement pictures were taken), and the wedding planning began! We can't wait to celebrate with everyone!
