It is true, time flies when you are in love. This is what we have experienced as we look back on the past 8 years we have spent as a couple. But our journey started when we first met more than a decade ago. That fateful day fell in August of 2012 when we happened to sit next to each other in Mr. LaRocca’s World History class during our Sophomore year of high school. There was an instant connection. However, that connection remained a friendship for some time, as we were both too nervous to make the first move. Jumping forward to our Senior Prom, and with some encouragement from a friend, Patrick finally mustered up the courage to ask Makayla to be his date. We’ve been together ever since. We knew early on that we were put on this Earth to be together, and that feeling has only grown stronger over the years. Our time spent in college, our graduations, and our early career milestones have all been shared together as a supportive team, and all the little moments of happiness in between have been shared as a loving couple. We look forward to celebrating our love with all of our friends and family who have been by our side every step of the way.
