We met as freshmen in high school and have been a part of each other's lives ever since. We started as good friends going to dances together, performing in the school musicals, and sitting next to each other in class. As high school came to a close, our friendship transitioned into something more. From there we jumped to college, to grad school, to Los Angeles, to Illinois, weathered three years of long distance, and landed in Pittsburgh. All of those years have brought us here: finally getting married and still best friends. We took our time, and that was intentional. We've grown up together. We've seen the good and the bad and have loved every step of the journey. We could not be more excited to take on this next adventure!

We want to take a moment to sincerely thank each and every one of you for the role you have played in getting us to where we are. Our relationship would not be nearly as strong if it had not been for the multitude of guiding hands that have helped us along the way. You have provided us with incredible examples of what it truly means to love. We want our wedding day to be a celebration of you. You have given us the most remarkable gifts: family and friendship.
