Unlike many couples, we can't remember the first time we met...because we were in first grade. We doubt anyone in Ms. Borges' classroom in 2000-2001 had any idea that 24 years later, two of those students would be getting married!

We've known of each other for most of our lives, but we didn't start really becoming friends until middle school. We spent our days endlessly wandering around the mall and going to the skate park (well, Cullen attempted to skateboard and I played in the foam pits). In one particularly memorable instance, Cullen allowed me to straighten his hair and dye it black (it was peak emo season).

We went to different high schools and eventually mostly lost touch. There were occasional reunions, but in the summer of 2018 Cullen wished me a happy birthday and decided to shoot his shot! We have been together for all of our birthdays since.

This picture of us as Cosmo and Wanda is from our first Halloween together.

Over the last nearly 7 years, we've traveled together, supported each other through higher education, started new careers, got some fur babies, and recently purchased our first home! We've been working hard to build the brightest future possible.

We've been to several weddings together, and now it's our turn! We're so grateful for the love and support of our family and friends, and we can't wait to celebrate with you all!
