OUR LOVE STORY

We’ve been crossing paths since we were little—
from Children’s Theatre to the speech bus,
from backroads to The Picture Show—
somehow always orbiting each other, even when we didn’t know it.

From childhood stages to teenage mixtapes, we just kept finding our way back.

Years later, we were at a speech tournament, passing a pair of earbuds and pretending to be really really cool… as teenagers do.

“You heard me,” he said after boldly declaring Hannah should be his girlfriend.
“What?” she teased, trying to play it cool.
He didn’t flinch. “You heard me, I said you should be my girlfriend.”
She grinned. And that was that.

We fell in love the first time to eyeliner wings and emo playlists, late-night Sonic runs, films, and long drives down county roads—the kind of love that feels endless when you’re seventeen and the world still fits inside your hometown.

Then life did what life does—it stretched us, changed us, sent us out to grow up. There were years, miles, and stories in between. But somehow, ours kept humming underneath it all.

Because when something’s written in the stars, timing always finds its way.

Now we’re back where we began—wiser, funnier, stronger, and surrounded by the beautiful, chaotic life we’ve built. It’s the same song in a new key—small-town roots and city lights, remixed with everything we’ve learned along the way.

And we can’t wait to celebrate it all with you.

From teenage crush to forever—it’s always been him.
It’s always been her.
It’s always been us.
