We met on Hinge in 2021 and immediately felt something special. From our first date, we knew there was an easy, natural connection and that neither of us was going anywhere anytime soon. Since then, we’ve explored the world together, making memories across different countries and cultures. Italy holds a special place in our hearts, mostly for the food as it’s become a major part of our lives. We’ve also made it through some of life’s tougher moments, proving we’re a strong team. We’re excited for everything still ahead, and all the trips (and meals) to come.

We planned a trip to Colorado with both of our families and spent a few days at Rainbow Lake, staying in a cozy cabin surrounded by the mountains. The days were simple and perfect, fishing by the water, playing cards late into the night, and enjoying time together away from everything. During a hike, Mike kept a nervous eye on the clouds, waiting for the right moment. Then, just for a split second, the sun broke through. He took it as his sign, and that’s when he asked. She said yes, and just like that, the whole trip became even more unforgettable.
