How We Met

As our friends know, we like to go back and forth on when we really first met — a Secret Santa, or a New Year's Eve Party — mostly to keep things interesting and spare ourselves a little embarrassment. But one thing we can agree on? The sparks were there from the start!

Us in our early days — placeholder
An early photo together

We met three years ago through our shared group of friends. From the beginning, it was clear we were very different people — but that only made us more curious about each other. What started as long-distance quickly turned into countless late-night phone calls, getting to know each other one conversation at a time.

Before long, we decided to give it a real chance and began dating in person. Now through every high and low, we've always found our way back to laughter, love, and each other. Somehow, these past three years have absolutely flown by — and we wouldn't change a single moment!
