It all began thanks to Bumble in May of 2021, where two adventure-loving souls found their perfect match. From the moment we connected, our dates were filled with laughter, excitement, and a shared love for exploring the world around us. Whether camping under the stars, traveling to new destinations, catching our favorite bands at concerts, or cozying up to watch our favorite shows and movies, every moment brought us closer together.

Whether it's roasting s’mores by the campfire, visiting new breweries and coffee shops, or enjoying friendly competition with board games, we love exploring new experiences side by side. Cooking together is one of our favorite pastimes, especially when we get to try out new recipes. Fall brings excitement as we cheer on our favorite teams—Raleigh rooting for her Texas A&M Aggies, and Mark supporting his Baylor Bears. In the spring, we can't wait for crawfish boils and relaxing pool days. Above all, we are incredibly thankful for finding each other, where we can truly be ourselves and embrace every adventure life has to offer together.

One of our most unforgettable adventures began in Vancouver, CA, on the stunning Stanley Island Park. Mark proposed on June 13th, 2024, under the Brockton Point Lighthouse just before we embarked on a magical two-week Alaskan cruise. It was the perfect start to the next chapter of our lives together.

Looking ahead, we can’t wait to continue our journey—both literally and figuratively. One day, we plan to explore the U.S. and beyond, traveling together in an RV, chasing sunsets, and making memories wherever the road takes us.

We are beyond excited to celebrate this special day with all of you, and we are so grateful to have each of you in our lives. We truly hope you can join us for this unforgettable occasion as we begin this new chapter together.

Thank you again, Bumble, for sparking the beginning of our forever!
