Okay, so we met on Hinge...AND IT WORKED! That's a popular dating site nowadays for those of you who don't know. We had our first real date lined up for a BSU game, but we couldn’t wait that long—so we decided to meet at the gym earlier that week.

That gym meet-up turned into a park hangout, and honestly, we both kind of knew right away there was something good here. Lacey thought Riley was hot, which slightly terrified her. Riley thought Lacey was beautiful, which also made him incredibly nervous. It was perfect!!!

We kept things rolling with gym sessions, lunch meetups, and deep conversations about life, values, and what kind of people we wanted to be. Riley taught Lacey disc golf, lots of historical facts + big words, how to handle conflict with more patience and forgiveness, as well as he showed her a love unlike anything she had experienced before. Lacey taught Riley pickle-ball, that dogs are actually God's greatest creation, a deep love to handle situations by being straight to the point while holding truth and grace, as well as that he would always be fully loved and never let go.

The coming months were new and exciting! But, it wasn’t always butterflies and protein shakes—we’re both really honest (sometimes to a fault), and that led to some tough conversations. Instead of tapping out, we stuck it out. We worked through things, leaned on God, and ended up building something stronger than either of us expected - we couldn't have made it without intentionally pursuing the Lord and being willing to follow His call.

Now the proposal… total curveball. The original ring got delayed and then caught up in a dispute. Cue stress, overthinking, and postponing the big moment, but then Riley found an even better ring, threw together a sweet plan at Kathryn Albertson Park with music, gifts, and drinks—and surprised Lacey. It was one of those moments where everything just felt right.

Now we’re here, planning a wedding, still showing up for each other, and honestly just really grateful.
