After meeting at work, where McKenna made the first move, these two lovebirds quickly hit it off and went on a few dates. On the 17th, they celebrated Chai’s birthday, a night that not only marked a special occasion but also captured their very first photo together!

The very next night turned out to be one of the most defining moments in their relationship; they saw their favorite band, LANY, live together. To this day, they both agree it was the best night of their lives and the night everything just clicked.

Then came the day it all became official! From that moment on, they began meeting each other’s families and friends, blending their worlds and building something real together.

June was a month full of milestones and celebrations! Chai graduated from nursing school just as McKenna began her own journey!

As the holidays came to a close, so did living apart. These two took the leap and officially moved in together!

Unbeknownst to McKenna, the night away at the Broadmoor, a stay Chai had supposedly “won” from work, was more than just a getaway. It was a beautifully planned cover for the most meaningful proposal. What began as a simple trip turned into a moment they’ll never forget. It was the beginning of forever, and the most unforgettable day of their lives.

Just two weeks later, McKenna walked across the stage at her nursing school graduation. She was glowing with pride and wearing the most beautiful ring on her finger. It was a celebration of not only her hard work and dedication, but also the exciting new chapter she and Chai had just begun.
