We met during our freshman year of college at UGA, brought together by a big, lively group of friends, and soon became best friends ourselves! Over time, our friendship grew into something more, and without even realizing it, we fell in in love. Over the years, we’ve made it a priority to support each other, no matter what life brought our way. We've navigated a year of long distance—Rose in Boston and Michael in Athens—and came out stronger and with more appreciation for each other than ever before. We have been sharing a home together in Atlanta since 2024, and this has been an incredibly special, joyful, and fulfilling next step in our journey. We are so grateful for the life and community we’ve built together as a couple and are excited to celebrate this next chapter with you!
