Dillon and I met in 2015 shortly after he and his family moved in next door. We initially started talking due to a mutually found interest in John Mayer. Dillon made no hesitation to send the first message asking to hang out soon.

After some time texting, we decided it was finally time to go on our first date! Dillon asked me to be his “official” girlfriend on that very first date, December 22nd 2015.. Our first date was very spontaneous, and we ended the night driving around to look at Christmas lights. We enjoy reminiscing on our first date each holiday season.

We spent the earliest years of our relationship frequenting local coffee shops, River Road being one of our favorites. We often found ourselves sitting and talking until close, and then sitting in the parking lot listening to music and sharing in our love of deep conversation.

Fast forward to summer of 2019, we took our relationship to the next step by moving into our first place together. Moving out on our own at such young ages had its challenges, but with those was the opportunity for growth and we hit a pivotal moment in our relationship where we truly became one. We overcame every obstacle placed in our way, and knew from that moment on that there was no other way of life than to be together.

Dillon proposed September 9th, 2022 outside of our home during a beautiful sunset. Just two short months later on Thankgiving day we found out we were expecting a little bundle of joy! While our wedding planning took a back seat for awhile as we planned for baby's arrival, we are overjoyed to have our son Owen be apart of our wedding day.

We will officially join hands to become husband and wife on December 13th, 2025 at the Beverly Mansion in Merango Ohio. Nearly ten years since our first date. We are beyond blessed and thank God every day for this beautiful life we have. We are elated to share this special moment with you all soon!
