It all started back in March of 2020 at Kings bowling. Paul and Rachel were introduced to each other through mutual friends and spent the whole night at the corner of the bar talking. From that point on, Paul and Rachel spent all of their free time getting to know one another.

They started dating in August of 2020 and their connection got stronger with every moment spent together.

In October of 2022, after 2 years of dating, Paul was deployed for the army and would spend a year away from Rachel and his home.

Throughout this year Paul and Rachel made it a point to prioritize their relationship and participated in daily phone calls and weekly FaceTime movie nights.

After a little over a year, Paul returned home in November of 2023. Paul and Rachel immediately started planning their future together starting with a week long trip to Mexico during Christmas vacation.

On the second day of their trip to Mexico, Paul told Rachel he would plan dinner for the night while she got ready. When it was time for dinner they walked over to the restaurant and to Rachel’s (and Paul’s) surprise they were guided up to a private rooftop dinner overlooking the ocean.

Paul nervously “went to the bathroom” and when he came back he got on one knee in front of Rachel and asked her to marry him. They then spent the rest of their vacation celebrating and enjoying the beautiful resort. When they came home from their trip they started planning the wedding right away.

Since the engagement, Paul and Rachel have bought their first home and are anxiously awaiting the rest of their lives together.
