Derek and I went to high school together and have known each other for more than 10 years. We actually went on a date in high school but at that time it just wasn't meant to be and we parted ways for a while.

Years later we found each other and have been together since. We have been through things a lot of married couples could not endure and have in the end made each other better people and pushed each other towards success along the way. Relationships are challenging to say the least and there have been times when we both thought it might be easier to walk away and start over. Our story is that we will never give up on one another and we will make it through any storm no matter how rough it may be because we were meant to be.

True Love isn't a decision you get to make in this life, it's the one above that decides ultimately who you will spend your life with. We both believe this and are blessed to have each other.

Derek and I are excited for this chapter in our lives and cannot wait to celebrate this day with friends and family. We will make it, we will succeed, and we will love each other until the end no matter what.
