Small town biz here: we met through friends of friends! Many years went by when we (apparently) had each other's contact information but never really talked. Fast forward a bit and we actually had a conversation, the entirety of which was just nerdy stuff that we both enjoy. Eventually, we spent our time talking in parks and on adventures rather than over the phone. Many hikes, coffee shops, restaurants, and concerts later, it just became the usual. On a warm summer day in 2023, we officially got engaged at one of our favorite parks, and we couldn't be more excited!

Our relationship can best be summed up by the words of the elder man who approached us during our dinner out one evening: "I can tell you guys are a good couple because of the way you talk and look at each other." We've appreciated his comment more and more since.
