We met in 2017 while living in the same co-ed dorm at UNCG. What started as a friendship quickly grew as we realized how much we had in common, from music and hobbies to our lifestyles and outlook on life. Not long after, we discovered something that felt almost unreal: we had grown up just two miles down the road from one another, and in college, we lived only two doors apart. We began dating in 2020, and by then, it felt like everyone around us, friends and family included, knew where our story was headed. In 2025, we got engaged, excited to take the next step in a journey that always felt meant to be. And now, here we are, ready to celebrate the love that’s been right next door all along.
