    "It felt like we had met before. It just felt like we'd been friends forever," she said.

    "Then, our friend groups just sort of melded together."

    "The fact that our friends and family know one another and have love for one another — that's incredibly special, and it's rare in the world. It just means so, so much, honestly," she concluded.
