We met while attending the University of South Florida, when he was finishing his college journey and I was halfway through mine.

Along the way, we both worked hard to achieve our goals: I completed my teaching internship (which required me to develop a caffeine addiction), and he earned his master’s degree.

Now we share an apartment filled with love and two energetic dogs who keep us on our toes!

Our journey together has been full of laughter, adventures, and countless memories, and we can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter of our lives with all of you on August third, a day made even more special because it marks our seven-year anniversary.
