Their story began at a friend’s bonfire in Eagan, Minnesota — just a stone’s throw from where they’ll be saying “I do.” That night sparked something special, even if neither of them fully realized it yet.

Their first date was at Buffalo Wild Wings, where they shared burgers, laughter, and the start of something unforgettable. The night took an unexpected turn when his mom’s car broke down at a park, leading to both of them meeting each other’s families much sooner than planned. He was convinced she’d never call him again — but instead, it became one of their favorite stories.

From that night on, it was a whirlwind. They were inseparable almost instantly, falling fast and hard. He said “I love you” within two weeks, and she soon realized she felt the same — safe, calm, and completely herself with him.

On May 7th, 2023, during a sunset at Turtle Beach in Oahu, Hawaii, he asked her to marry him. She said yes, and the moment was perfect.

Together, they’ve built a life full of love and little adventures. They share their home with two cats, Jinx and Lemon, and Chiquita, her dog — who has happily claimed him as her favorite dog dad. When they’re not busy caring for their fur babies, they’re often found gaming together, binge-watching shows, or simply enjoying each other’s company.

Now, they’re excited to begin this next chapter, surrounded by all the people who’ve been part of their story so far.
