Our Story

Our Love Story

Picture of Our Love Story


We met our Junior year of high school when we both joined the College Acceleration Program, and we became friends as our cohort started hanging out outside of class. Although we both found each other cute right away, it wasn't until after we graduated that the friendship blossomed into something more!


We took our next big step in life together as we navigated college, and have been taking every step together since! In July we will be celebrating 7 years of our love, and we never imagined we would find this much happiness!


To see our love grow throughout the years, scroll through our timeline below!
