We first connected while ringing in the New Year of 2012. We were dancing at a live music show and met through mutual friends. In May of 2017 we started dating and sharing a love of outdoor adventures. In January of 2023 we took a trip to the Big Island of Hawai'i and loved the island so much we decided to return in a year and get married. We recently eloped and exchanged vows at Pauoa Bay in Hawai'i on January 11, 2024. We look forward to celebrating our union with family and friends at the Oregon Coast on May 18, 2024. We will also be celebrating 7 years together!
