Our story started in middle school, but we never knew then what we'd grow into now. Years later, we matched on Hinge, and Evan sent a message that stood out enough for AunaMarie to respond. That was the start of something we didn’t see coming.

Our first date was a Friday night: Evan showed up to AunaMarie’s CycleBar class (his first ever) and somehow came in first place (of course). We grabbed Torchy’s tacos afterward and ended up talking for hours. It was easy—natural—and from that night on, we’ve been figuring life out together.

Over the past few years, we’ve shared a lot: new jobs, surgeries, everyday routines, and some of our favorite adventures. We’ve traveled, spent weekends in places like Broken Bow, gone to concerts and bought the T-shirts (which we now wear to bed), and made a point to try new things—even when it meant stepping outside our comfort zones.

Some of our best memories have come from those moments.

Evan ties AunaMarie’s shoes every morning, and we never miss a photo booth picture at Up-Down—our favorite date night spot. It’s also where Evan proposed (in the cutest way possible).

This relationship has grown into something steady, real, and meaningful—and now, we’re excited to take the next step surrounded by the people who’ve supported us along the way.
