It all began on July 19, 2021—the first day of our careers as accountants, and unknowingly, the first day of our story. We were strangers assigned to side-by-side cubicles, with no idea that friendship—and eventually love—was just around the corner. We quickly became close friends, and before long, we were dating, house hunting, and adopting a puppy together.

Two years later, on a beach in Barbados, Brendan got down on one knee with our closest family members watching nearby. Now, we’re planning our wedding and can’t wait to say, “I do” and celebrate this next chapter with you!
