Ava & Eric

Our Story

They met in eleventh-grade chemistry, assigned to the same lab bench by a seating chart neither of them ever thanked the teacher for. Ava kept meticulous notes; Eric kept accidentally setting the timer wrong. Somewhere between a ruined titration and a shared bag of vending-machine pretzels, lab partners quietly became best friends.

They went their separate ways after graduation, but the group chat never quite died. One reunion coffee turned into a six-hour conversation, and it was obvious to everyone but the two of them that the chemistry had never really been about the class. Years later, Eric proposed on a quiet autumn evening — and Ava, naturally, said yes before he finished the question.
