He must of been interested because of her golden brown tan in an arctic tundra, dirty blonde hair, or even her dark brown eyes. It turned out it wasn't because of those things. They discovered their mutual care and love for their families, friends, and most importantly, each other.

The fun loving, kind hearted, and free spirited couple grew closer and closer the past several years and got engaged in July 2023 after living together in Astoria since 2021. They have grown so much individually and together and cannot wait to enter this next chapter of their lives as husband and wife on May 22, 2025.
