Our Wedding

Our relationship has been a journey of adventure, love, and timing. We met in 2018 through Hinge, bonding over hiking, wine nights, and meaningful conversations. Despite a few detours along the way, we always found our way back to each other. After rekindling things in 2021, our relationship flourished through shared travels, time with family and friends, and adopting our beloved Aussie Labradoodle, Cooper. In 2024, during a sunset boat ride in Croatia with family nearby, Chris proposed with a John Mayer song playing in the background—a perfect ending to a love story that took just a little longer to unfold.
