Let me set the scene. One warm Thursday night in August, I was sitting in my kitchen, scrolling through Instagram. I came across a girl I somewhat knew from high school. After a little liquid courage, I made a decision that would change the rest of my life. I messaged Meg:

"You mad cute. Wanna go with me and my friends to Power and Light Saturday?"

That could’ve easily been my first mistake—but to my surprise, she messaged me back! (She rejected me...) Still, I somehow convinced her to let me take her out for sushi and Brkthrough, which turned out to be a night I’ll never forget.

In the weeks that followed, we kept talking and started to grow closer. We found things we had in common and shared so many fun experiences. At the time, I was traveling a lot for work and would be gone for long stretches, but I think it only made us stronger. We spent hours on FaceTime and phone calls, which became instrumental in building the foundation of a relationship that would be tested again and again.

Flash forward to March 8th, 2025: I finally popped the question! I was so nervous I could barely speak to her on the way. I got down on one knee, showed her the ring, and before I could even finish asking her to marry me—I was on the floor. She tackled me...

We’ve been through hardships and stood by each other through it all. She amazes me every single day and always pushes me to be the best version of myself. She grounds me and will forever be the last face I see at night and the first face I look forward to in the morning.

I love this girl more than I ever thought I could love anything, and I know I’ll have the best life with her by my side.
