It all started thanks to a mutual friend and a little social media curiosity. After catching his eye online, she was introduced — though it wasn’t exactly love at first sight (at least not for her). He thought she was stunning right away, and little by little, she started to see what made him so special too.


Their first date at Pluckers set the tone: full of laughter, good food, and a little playful teasing when she got carded and he didn’t. From that night on, things just kept falling into place.


By September 25, 2022, they officially became “us.” Two years later, on September 21, 2024, surrounded by close friends and family at dinner, he got down on one knee and asked her to spend forever together. Just days later, on September 30, 2024, they bought their first home — the start of their next big chapter side by side.


Together, they’ve built a life filled with travel, workouts that somehow turn into date nights, meals shared (and usually devoured), and lots of time with the families they love.


Now, they can’t wait to celebrate this next adventure — marriage — with all of you.
