Like most modern love stories, ours began on the internet. In the summer of 2023, we first met when Adam moved to Kansas City. Things seemed different at that first date, there was a great foundation of friendship and conversation was easy. (Plus Adam didn’t judge Emily’s inability to eat an ice-cream cone before it melts!) Through countless amazing dates, a couple trips to Hawaii, and many long-distance FaceTime calls our relationship and love deepened. Then at the beginning of 2025, Adam proposed at the most beautiful beach and will be a memory we cherish forever. And as they say, the rest is history.
