We’re Peyton and Xavier, and our story began in the most unexpected place, high school Spanish class. It was Peyton’s sophomore year and Xavier’s junior year, and from the very first day, something felt different. He sat a few rows ahead, and Peyton couldn’t help but notice him. Mostly because she didn’t remember ever seeing him before… and because he was so cute. Not long after, we had our first date over pizza at Italian Sensations, and from that moment on, we were inseparable. What started as a simple high school romance quickly turned into something so much deeper. Just a month into dating, we were already dreaming out loud about our future, our life together, and even our wedding day. Over the past eight years, we’ve grown up side by side, building a life filled with love, laughter, and so many memories. One of our greatest joys has been our sweet dog, Milo, who truly means the world to us and completes our little family. The proposal is a moment we’ll cherish forever. Peyton thought it was just a day for family photos at a pumpkin patch, completely unaware of what Xavier had planned. While she was distracted, he set up a white light-up pumpkin that read, “Will you marry me?” As they walked over, Peyton spotted it and thought, “Someone must have left their pumpkin here!” but within seconds, she looked over and saw Xavier down on one knee. Speechless and overwhelmed with emotion, it was a moment that felt like a dream come true, her true love asking for forever. As if that wasn’t perfect enough, Xavier had one more surprise planned, a celebration at a brewery surrounded by all of their family and friends. It was a day filled with so much love, joy, and unforgettable memories. Truly everything we could have ever dreamed of. After eight incredible years together, we cannot wait to finally say “I do” and begin this next chapter as husband and wife.
