Our story began on a dating app called Upward after what seemed like forever swiping! When we finally matched, we discovered we had gone to rival high schools, which made for some fun conversations. From there, we quickly hit it off, realizing we shared the same values, a love for cooking together, and a deep appreciation for our families. That moment sparked a conversation that lasted for hours, and we quickly realized we had found something special.

Our first date was filled with laughter and for Nate, the mistake of ordering habanero shrimp! Every moment since has been a beautiful adventure, and we can't wait to start this new chapter together.

From that first date forward, our lives intertwined in the most beautiful ways. We shared countless adventures of road trips together and quiet nights in cooking together as well. Each moment brought us closer together, teaching us about love, patience, and the joy of having a best friend by your side.

Now, as we prepare to start this new chapter together, we look back on our journey with gratitude and excitement. Above all else, we are both completely amazed and astounded by God’s perfect plan and His unending blessing and mercies. We can't wait to see what the future holds and are thrilled to celebrate our love with all of you.

We love because He first loved us. - 1 John 4:19
