Some love stories take a lifetime to begin, but ours had been written in the stars long before we even knew it. We knew each other for years through mutual friends, crossing paths throughout our lives. But it wasn’t until after school, when our worlds merged again, that everything changed. As we spent more time together in our close-knit group, something undeniable sparked between us. If you ask either of us, we’ll both say it was love at first sight. Mitch even told one of his friend’s parents, "I'm going to marry that woman one day"—and he meant it.

From the very beginning, we were inseparable. We’ve spent every single day together since, and not a moment passes without thinking of one another. Ours is a love that has only deepened over time—true, unwavering, and full of joy. Our journey has been filled with adventure, from camping trips under the stars to music festivals where we danced the night away. We've built a beautiful home together, filled it with love (and our adorable puppies), and created a life that feels just right.

What we love most about each other is hard to put into words because it’s felt in all the little moments. Mitch's drive, his kindness, and the way he can always make every day filled with laughter. And then there’s the way home feels with her—warm, comforting, and full of love. It’s in the way she cares so deeply, the way she makes even the simplest moments feel special. We bring out the best in each other, always have, and always will.

And the best part? This is only the beginning. We can’t wait for all the fun, laughter, and love still to come.
