It all started around Christmas 2024, when James' sister, Laurie, introduced us. From the very beginning, something just felt right.

Our first date was on December 30, 2024 — a night filled with food, drinks, and nonstop laughter. It was one of those rare moments where time disappeared, and from then on, we were inseparable. We spent nearly every day together after that, and it didn’t take long for us to realize we had found something truly special.

Our relationship has always felt simple, easy, and meant to be — the kind of love where you can’t imagine ever being strangers. Whether we’re watching documentaries, hiking new trails, or just spending time at home with our four sweet dogs — Cleo, Cali, Cora, and Dixie — life feels lighter and brighter when we’re together.

On June 29, 2025, during a hike to a waterfall, James asked Deborah to marry him — and she said yes.

Now, we can’t wait to celebrate the beginning of our next chapter with the people we love most.
