It all began in December 2020 at a cozy Christmas housewarming party hosted by a mutual friend. The moment he walked through the door, she (half-jokingly, fully seriously) called dibs the moment their eyes connected. With some playful matchmaking from friends, a few good drinks, and hours of conversation, sparks flew… and they’ve been together ever since.

Over the next 4½ years, their connection only grew stronger. From weekend getaways and lazy Sundays with their dog Lucy, to laughter-filled nights with friends and family, they found their rhythm — a life full of love, adventure, and the perfect kind of ease.

When it came time to propose, he chose the site of their very first date; Muse Paint Bar. They spent the evening painting side by side, following the instructor’s lead — until the very end, when he placed his finished canvas on the front easel. It read: “Will you marry me?” With a packed room cheering them on, he got down on one knee and gave her the most unforgettable moment of her life.

Now, they’re getting ready to celebrate their next chapter — surrounded by candlelight, joy, and a packed dance floor. They can't wait to share this magical day (and night!) with the people they love most.
