who knew we would sit next to our future spouses in 8th grade? middle schoolers always develop crushes on their classmates but rarely do we actually marry those people we pine after at such a young age. declan deserves the credit on this one because he had the courage to ask for helena's phone number during our english class. the rest is history, we were inseparable and talked every day since november of 2014. on february 2, 2015, declan asked helena to be his girlfriend and we officially became a couple. we are now both 22 years old and have lived with each other for 4 years. moral of the story is: always tell people how you feel about them because it could blossom into something wonderful.

we have the honor of hosting our wedding at declan's uncle's, mark and brett, beautiful mountain home.
