We first met in 2019, while working together at Jaco's Bayfront Bar & Grille in downtown Pensacola. Our big group of friends/coworkers would often get together after shifts to hang out and have some fun. In late 2020, we began to grow closer as friends, and realized we had a lot in common. We took things very slowly, knowing neither of us was ready to rush into anything as we both take relationships very seriously. We began spending less time in group settings and more time together, just the two of us.

We enjoyed trying new restaurants, spending time in nature, and finding new, exciting experiences. Eventually, we realized we had developed strong feelings for each other, and decided to finally put a label on a relationship our friends and family had seen coming all along. Since then, we've embraced life together and have made many incredible memories. We truly bring out the best in each other, and enjoy life more with each other around.

One of our favorite activities is attending the Blue Wahoos baseball games, and this quickly became a regular pastime for us. We love cheering on our home team, eating foot-long hot dogs, doing all the chants/cheers, and indulging in some of the best margaritas we've ever had. On August 31st, 2023, we got engaged during a surprise Kiss Cam proposal at one of the games. All of our closest friends and family were waiting across the stadium to congratulate and celebrate us.

As we approach our wedding day, we can't help but feel incredibly blessed and grateful to have such immense love not only between us, but surrounding us. We look forward to commemorating such a special day with you, and marking the beginning of the rest of our lives together in love.
