It all started in April 2023 when we both swiped right on Hinge, and our love story took off from there. On our very first conversation, I, Emma, jokingly asked Marshall if he was the love of my life, simply because we shared the same dream of leaving Ohio and our mutual love for country music. Who would have thought that silly question would lead us here, about to say "I do"? Just four months after meeting, Marshall followed me from Ohio to Texas for a travel job, where our connection grew even stronger. For the next nine months, we built something beautiful together. Eventually, we decided to settle down in Raleigh, NC, where we could enjoy our shared love for the outdoors and make a life full of laughter and adventure. With two dogs, a cat, and countless cups of coffee (not to mention a never-ending playlist of country tunes), we are beyond excited to continue our journey—together.
