In the autumn of 2015, fate had a plan for us—even if we didn’t know it yet. Our paths had first crossed two years earlier in the most unexpected way, during a gathering of mutual friends in Williston, Vermont. At first, we were just two people navigating work and college, sharing laughter and casual conversations between shifts and classes. But something about our connection felt different.

What started as a spontaneous friendship quickly became something more. Whether it was late-night talks, discovering shared interests, or simply enjoying each other’s company, we found ourselves drawn to one another in a way neither of us had experienced before. Our first official date was on November 6, 2015, and from that moment on, we were inseparable.

Through the years, we’ve grown together, supporting each other through life’s challenges and celebrating its joys. Our story encompasses big milestones like moving cross country, buying our first home, and starting a business to the little moments like late night drives and quiet nights at home together. As we have been confronted with obstacles big and small, our bond has continued to grow stronger, and our love story became one worth telling.

Now, nearly a decade later, we’re ready to take the next step in our journey—surrounded by the family and friends who have been there every step of the way.

And so, the next chapter begins…
