Our story started with a little help from hinge, and a Christmas market date that neither of us will ever forget. On December 9, 2022, we met at the Christkindlmarkt in Bethlehem, PA, with a cozy, twinkling backdrop for the start of something special.

From the very beginning, Adam made an impression, and I know he’d say the same about me. Within minutes, an in-depth history lesson began on the Steel Stacks. While I was charmed by his passion for history, I had no idea how much more there was to love about him.

Since that night, we've built a life full of adventure, laughter, and quiet moments that feel like home. We love traveling together, spending time outdoors, unwinding with our favorite TV shows, and tending to our backyard garden Oasis. We love trying new recipes, especially the ones I send to him on Instagram. Every day together just adds another layer to our story.

At sunrise on January 9, 2025, Adam proposed in one of the most beautiful places: Udall Point in St. Croix.

What makes us work is simple: we truly love being together. Life feels lighter, sweeter, and more tolerable with each other by our side. We share the same weird sense of humor, countless inside jokes, respect, and commitment to continuous growth together.

To our family and friends, thank you for being part of this journey. We feel so lucky to have found not just love but a lifelong friendship with each other. We’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter with you.
