Like most of the world in June 2020, Raychel and I were stuck wondering about what was going on in the world. During this time, Raychel was driving back and forth to the Keys for work while quarantining in the back room of her parents' house (more on this infamous room later). Meanwhile, I was furloughed from my job for 2 weeks.

Then, what started as a normal night watching Netflix, quickly turned into a night of easy conversation on Jswipe between the two of us. Fireworks went off immediately and before you know it, we had a date planned.

Nothing was open at that time, so I planned a romantic date at the park, across the street from my apartment. The conversation continued to flow smoothly, leading to many more nights of the same: ordering Uber Eats, watching movies, and staying up late talking on the phone.

Eventually the city opened again, allowing us to really explore our passions together. From walks to our favorite restaurants in Wynwood, to vacations in California, Mexico, New York City and everything in between, I knew Raychel and I would begin a lifetime of unforgettable memories and amazing adventures together.

Our relationship has certainly been tested. From job changes to apartment hunts, to living with Raychel's parents for 4 months (that room I mentioned earlier has since been re-named after me), we've had our challenges. But throughout that time, we have conquered the world together and know going forward there is nothing we can’t overcome.

We would like to say a special thank you to our loved ones near and far. We can't wait celebrate our love with you all soon!
