We first met in 2009. Although there was an initial spark, I was 15 at the time, and he was 19. As luck would have it, our next meeting occurred 4 years later at a mutual friend’s wedding, when everyone was legal. Two days later we had our first date (I asked him out). Over the next 5 years, we were separated by hundreds, sometimes thousands, of miles, but our relationship continued to grow. Today, we are looking forward to celebrating the start of our journey with all of our friends and family. 4.17.21 can't come soon enough!
