It all began in high school, where we quickly became close friends—sharing classes, inside jokes, and all the little moments that build something special. Over time, that friendship grew into something more.

After high school graduation, our six years (and counting) officially began.

Life took us in different directions—literally. She headed to UConn, and I stayed close to home and went to the University of South Carolina. For four years, we navigated a long-distance relationship, fueled by countless FaceTime calls, late-night texts, and trips to see each other whenever we could—especially during the swimming offseason. From long drives and airport reunions to tearful goodbyes and joyful returns, we made it work—because we knew it was worth it.

Now, after years of growing together from best friends to life partners, we’re beyond excited to start this next chapter side by side. Thank you for being part of our story—we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
