Our story began in 2016 when we met at a mutual friend's wedding. Unbeknownst to us, the seating chart was meddled with by a mutual friend who saw the potential for something great before we could recognize it ourselves. Over the next year, we were separated by 5,337 miles as Kaver was teaching abroad in Spain. During that time, we became modern-day pen pals via, Whatsapp, email, Facebook, Skype, Snapchat, Google Docs, postcards... any way we could connect from across the Atlantic and seven-hour time difference (shout out to technology!) With every message, snap, and video shared, an unofficial bond grew stronger than either of us could have imagined. When Kaver returned to Texas for the summer, we wanted to spend as much time together as possible before we had to part ways again for another nine months. This time around we knew something special was unfolding, so we both planned visits to see each other. We were fortunate enough to travel to places we had only dreamed of, falling more in love with each other along the way. Pastries in Paris. Beach-bumming all over Mallorca. Carb loading in Venice. Road tripping Croatia top to bottom. Hiking around Howth. These places will forever hold a special place in our hearts because they allowed our bond to blossom into an unconditional love like no other.
