Our story started the way so many good ones do — with a blind setup at a bar. A mutual friend decided to play matchmaker, and thankfully, they knew what they were doing. One drink turned into hours of talking and laughing, and by the end of the night, we both knew something special had started.

That first summer together was unforgettable. We spent it camping, riding the SxS, and going on every kind of adventure we could find. Our days were filled with sunshine, laughter, and late nights surrounded by friends and family. Somewhere between all the fun and chaos, we realized we’d found our person.

Since then, life has been one big, beautiful mix of love, laughter, and growth. We’ve moved from our first home to our next, cheered on the Griz every chance we get, and built a life that feels perfectly ours. And of course, none of it would be complete without our two dogs, Gracie and Hope — our spoiled, lovable girls who are truly the heart of our home.

Our journey together hasn’t been about grand gestures or perfect moments — it’s been about the little things. The laughter, the inside jokes, the adventures, and the quiet nights in. Every day has been its own adventure, and we wouldn’t trade it for anything.

We’re so excited to get married and start this next chapter — surrounded by the people (and pups) we love most. Here’s to forever, built on love, laughter, and a whole lot of memories still to come.
