Our story began with a simple swipe on Tinder. On June 14, we decided to take a chance and swipe right. Little did we know that at the same moment, we were doing the exact same thing. The magic of that moment led to a match and soon enough a first message. What started as a friendly exchange, turned into many late-night conversations, filled with laughter and connection. Our first dates were the beginning of a journey we both knew was something extraordinary. From that day forward, we never went a day without talking. It was as if the universe conspired to bring us together, and we knew, without a doubt, that we were meant for each other.

Our engagement story is a beautiful chapter in our love story. Blake planned a perfect picnic at his house under a big tree. When I arrived, everything was already laid out - sandwiches, games of Uno, and the promise of a memorable day. Our picnic took an unexpected turn as we ended up painting pumpkins, turning a simple date into a delightful and laughter-filled adventure. Blake then suggested we each paint a picture for each other on a canvas. When the unveiling moment arrived, my painting read 'I love you to the moon,' and Blake's masterpiece posed the question, 'Will you marry me?' Without hesitation, I said yes, surrounded by the sweetness of our shared moments and the promise of forever.
