Some love stories begin with a grand gesture, but ours started in the place we both adore—a dog show. What began as a simple friendship quickly blossomed into something greater than either of us could have ever imagined. The funny thing is, we had been living parallel lives for years. Both of us called Florida home, attending the same dog shows, walking the same paths, yet somehow never crossing them. It wasn’t until later, while looking through old photos, that we realized fate had been at work all along. We had stood in the same groups, unknowingly competing side by side, and even parked our motorhomes next to each other—never realizing that the person just a few feet away would one day become the love of our lives. Through life’s ups and downs, we’ve been each other’s unwavering support system. True love isn’t just about the highs—it’s about who stands beside you during the lows, without hesitation or question. No matter what, we’ve always had each other’s backs. Now, as we take this next step, we do so knowing that we truly are each other’s ride or die. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
