We met January 2021 online and quickly started spending a lot of time together.

We took our first trip to Nashville in March 2021 to visit where Madeline had lived from 2013-2017 and see some old friends.

We joined Michael's family in the Outer Banks later that summer for a beach vacation.

2021 was filled with some of our best friends' weddings all over the country in places like Florida, Colorado and even two in California.

Michael's brother got married in February 2022 which was the start of a great year.

We realized we often take our best pictures at family weddings.

We spent some time at the lake with friends in summer 2022.

Then, we rounded out the summer with an extended trip up north to visit Canada.

Michael proposed at home on the evening of November 11 after a romantic dinner out. The weekend that followed was full of celebrations with family.
