You never know when the right swipe will change your life—but that’s exactly how our story began. We matched online and quickly discovered we had more in common than we expected, including attending Maple Grove High School just one year apart. It felt like fate waited until the perfect moment to bring us together.

Our first date was dinner at Malone’s, followed by seeing a movie at the theaters. From that night on, everything just clicked.

Since then, we’ve built a life filled with love, laughter, and all the little moments that make it ours. We moved in together in an apartment 2021, rented a house in Blaine in 2022, and bought our first home in early 2024. We love lifting weights together, cozy nights in with movies and board games, bowling dates, and the occasional "let’s just grab one thing" trip to Costco.

We’ve also made some incredible memories traveling to California, Vegas, Disneyland, and Wisconsin Dells. But our favorite adventure so far was in Kauai, Hawaii—after a gorgeous hike, he proposed on the beach, making it a moment we’ll never forget.

Now, we’re getting ready to say “I do” this September at Howling Moon in Buffalo, Minnesota, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate with all of you!
