Our Wedding

High School Sweethearts

We met in 2012, during my freshman year and Chris's sophomore year of high school. Neither of us could have imagined that one small moment in a crowded hallway would change the course of our lives.It all started because one of my friends had a crush on a boy in our math class named Tim. One day, as she shyly pointed him out, I offered to get his phone number for her. In a twist that still makes us smile, Tim agreed—but only if I took his best friend Chris's number too. That one unexpected exchange led to our very first text conversation and planted the seed for something neither of us saw coming.Over the next two years, our friendship grew effortlessly. We became the people we could always count on, sharing conversations, laughter, and countless little moments that slowly built the foundation of something much deeper. Long before we were dating, we had already become best friends.By Chris's senior year, he knew he didn't want to graduate wondering "what if." When his friends planned a group date to an arcade, he saw the perfect opportunity to take a chance on us. The day before, he found me in the hallway and asked if I'd go with him. The moment I said yes, his face lit up with the biggest smile—a smile that told me everything I needed to know.On the day of our first date, we were both feeling the butterflies. I spent way too long deciding what to wear with my cousin's help, hoping to make a good impression, while Chris carefully crafted the perfect playlist for the drive. We were both excited, a little nervous, and completely unaware that this ordinary afternoon would become the beginning of an extraordinary love story.Looking back now, it's amazing to think that our forever started with a favor for a friend and a phone number I almost didn't take. Sometimes the best chapters of our lives begin in the most unexpected ways, and we're so grateful ours began with each other.
