Connect How did your love story begin?

When Cayla asked Daylan to jr prom as a friend, it was no big deal. They’d known each other since they were 6 after all. But when he saw her in that white and gold dress, he knew she wasn’t just some girl, she was the girl. But he didn’t say anything, not yet.

We are young and in love. But we’re also broke college kids. We can only afford college thanks to hard work, scholarships, and a lot of faith. That means we won’t have much money to start our lives with when we graduate, and a wedding feels out of reach. Our dream? To use the prize to have the wedding we’ve always imagined after college. We want to celebrate everything we’ve been through and share our love story with the people who’ve loved us along the way. We’re ready to start our forever.
