It all began in health class during our junior year of high school. What started as a simple class project quickly turned into something much more, and by the start of our senior year, we were officially a couple—and soon inseparable.

As we finished high school, we took a leap together and chose Loyola University Chicago, starting a brand-new chapter in a new city. Those four years were unforgettable. We grew not only as individuals, but as a couple—exploring the city, making memories, and learning what it truly means to support one another.

After graduation, life brought new jobs, travels, and unexpected challenges that tested us in different ways. But through it all, we always had each other. We learned that love isn’t just about the joyful moments, but about standing by one another through life’s ups and downs.

Seven and a half years after we first met, Jackson created another unforgettable memory along the stunning coast of California when he proposed. Surrounded by breathtaking views and the love we’ve built over the years, it was the easiest “yes.”

Now, as we step into this next chapter, we’re so excited for everything ahead—a new life, a new home, and a love that continues to grow stronger with each passing year.

Here’s to forever. ❤️
