Like many modern day love stories, ours began with a swipe! We met on Tinder during the pandemic in 2020, and despite the world feeling uncertain at the time, our connection definitely was certain! What started as online conversations quickly turned into something real, and before we knew it, we were inseparable.

On August 16, 2020 we officially became a couple, which is why we chose August 16, 2025 to become husband & wife. We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate our 5 year anniversary!

In 2023, we took the leap of faith, packed up our car and our dogs, and moved 1,500 miles away to Des Moines, Iowa. During this time, James was enrolled in a one year accelerated nursing program and graduated with his Bachelor's degree as well as making it on the Dean's List.

Throughout the past 5 years, something we have loved doing together has been traveling. We have taken many trips- & together we have visited 19 states. Our favorite ones have been the ones with our dogs.

On November 24, 2024, we spent the day at Europa Village Winery in Temecula where James asked the most important question, "will you marry me?" And of course the answer was YES!

Now here we are in 2025 & we can hardly wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of our favorite people!
