We met during our freshman year at Texas A&M University, just outside a parking garage on campus. It sounds silly, but it was love at first sight.

That summer, we each left for military training and kept in touch the old-fashioned way through letters. When we came back to campus, we picked up right where we left off and became inseparable.

Our relationship has deepened over the years. We’ve gone through long distance, career changes, and life transitions, but through it all, we’ve remained each other’s best friends and biggest support systems. Whether apart or together, we always found a way to make it work.

Now, after a few years of growing up and growing closer, we’re both back together, chasing our dreams side by side. Will is studying construction science at Texas A&M, and Nikita is a firefighter here in College Station. Life is busy, but it’s never felt more full.

We are so excited to finally celebrate this next chapter with our favorite people. Thank you for being part of our story. We can’t wait to share the day with you.
