Our story started way back in middle school, long before we ever thought we would end up here. We were just kids who eventually found ourselves playing soccer together in high school. We spent a lot of time playing pick-up on the field with friends, and at sixteen, we started dating.

We graduated high school together, then set off on our separate college adventures at Lehigh and Villanova. Despite the distance, we were there for each other through it all — late-night study sessions, weekends spent traveling back and forth, and, of course, both of our graduations.

After college, we started our first jobs and are still learning how to navigate adulthood, always side by side. We have built a beautiful life together with our dog, Bumi, and each other — everything we need for our next chapter in life together.
