It all began with a Bumble match and one simple, perfectly crafted icebreaker: “What was your first concert?” (His answer: Post Malone. Solid choice.) From that first message, we clicked—bonding over music, good vibes, and the kind of conversation that just flows.

Before we even had our first official date, we accidentally had one of our favorite nights together. A FaceTime call that was supposed to be quick turned into seven hours of non-stop laughter, stories, and shared music. Eventually, we both admitted we were starving and ended up meeting for Chick-fil-A. After that, we drove around for hours, just talking and letting our favorite songs play in the background like our own personal movie soundtrack. It felt like something was already starting—and it felt easy.

When our first official date finally happened, it was at El Charro—our favorite Mexican restaurant. We devoured tacos, way too much queso, and spent the entire night smiling. Then we went back and watched The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug because, naturally, a night of queso and dwarves is peak romance.

From there, everything just fell into place. There was no dramatic “moment” when we knew—we just knew. Through every conversation, every playlist shared, every car ride, every tiny moment, we felt it. That deep-down, soul-level recognition that this person just gets me. Falling in love wasn’t some big, complicated thing—it was the most natural, effortless experience. Like breathing.

We knew we had found something rare: a love built on understanding, kindness, and the kind of unwavering support that lifts you up. In the words of Zach Bryan, we found someone who grows flowers in the darkest parts of us. And that’s exactly what we’ve done for each other—nurtured love, joy, and healing in all the places that needed it most.

The proposal was straight out of a dream. He took me to my favorite hiking trail—my happy place—and waited until we reached the bottom of the waterfall. The sound of rushing water, the quiet of the woods, and just the two of us. He took my hand, said some of the sweetest words I’ll never forget, and asked me to spend forever with him. I had no idea it was coming, but it was everything I ever wanted.

Now, we’re getting ready for the next chapter in our story. With love, laughter, music, queso, and a little bit of magic—we can’t wait to celebrate with all the people who mean the world to us!
