Aaron and Angela were connected for nearly 13 years before they ever officially met. Through Aaron’s brother and his fiancée — who also happened to be Angela’s best friend — the two were finally brought together while celebrating his brother’s birthday. From the moment they met, there was an instant connection. Hours filled with playful banter and endless laughter marked the beginning of their story.

Over the next four months, they embraced the challenges of a long-distance relationship, growing closer with every conversation and visit. Eventually, Aaron made the move to New Hampshire to be with Angela and Barrett, where they began building their new life together as a family.
