Our story began with one of us calling "dibs" on the other from across the lobby at high school orientation. Little did she know that they would be sharing first period together one week later, and little did he know when he sat next to her on the first day of school — a moment that would unknowingly set the course for the rest of our lives.

What started as a friendship slowly turned into something much more. It didn’t take long for both of us—and everyone around us—to realize there was something special between us.

On January 29, 2015, we officially became a couple, and from that day forward, we’ve been each other's greatest supporters and biggest fans. We've shared in life’s highs and lows, and have always been each other’s constant.

Ten years later, we’re still best friends, and our bond has only grown stronger. We've built lives together—launching two businesses, raising two golden doodles, and moving to a new city. Through every adventure and every change, we've stood by each other, building a love that is deep, enduring, and full of promise.

As we step into this next chapter, we feel blessed and excited to see where the future takes us. We can’t wait to celebrate this love with our cherished family and friends, and to continue building a lifetime of memories together.
