Zachary and I became friends in sixth grade.

That’s actually how our families met! From there, we just grew up side by side. He was always the friend I was allowed to bring on trips, and somehow all these years later… he’s still the one right next to me, just now as my forever +1.

Life took us in different directions for a little while, but when we came back to each other as adults, it wasn’t complicated; it just made sense. Easy, familiar, and exactly what it was supposed to be. What we have now isn’t just a relationship, it’s a partnership built on years of knowing each other, choosing each other, and growing together.

We’re so excited to do life together! Zachary on hunting trips (with me tagging along), random little getaways, and yes… a lot of shopping trips. He’s excited for all of it… minus maybe the HomeGoods runs.

Here’s to forever. Best friends, partners, and doing life together, with Duke, Bleu, and Roxi right there with us. 💍
