Our first photo together | JAN 2016 | San Jose, CA

In December 2015, she was having an average day working at the liquor store FL. She happened to be chatting with one of her best friends, Bryan, who suggested adding a CA friend on Facebook because of a lot of shared interests...

Despite being nervous, she added him and started the conversation with an Icebreaker... literally by sending him this:

Despite the thousands of miles between us, we immediately we knew our bond was very special and no distance would get in the way that. In that space between us we worked hard at building a strong foundation which has allowed us to continue to grow our bond into something unstoppable.

By June 2016 we were finally living together in Utah before we eventually relocated to Reno where we have built a life that we can happily call ours. Now closing in on a decade together, we have a vault of memories that are so very special to us both and we've experienced a ton of things together. Some not so great as that is part of being human, but the beauty of finding your person is knowing you never have to go through the bad days alone.

While we have both already known for years that we want to be together forever, love is patient and our timeline is special to us. Our foundation is unbreakable and we're beyond excited to start our new chapter.

The stars aligned, the door opened, our eyes met, and we felt the universe shift. On this night the stars aligned and we became a twinkle in time. Our souls awoke as the universe spoke, "Time to shine together this time."
