After many years of stolen glances at familiar Christmas parties, one party in particular stood out. In 2022 our love story began. Whether through hidden messages on Minecraft signs, or connection through our love of Lord of the Rings, we fell undoubtedly in love. Over the years our love grew stronger, through hiking, Mario Kart, traveling, and a long haired Chihuahua name Zuko. We both share a vision of the future, where we are surrounded by nature, living off the land, and building a beautiful future for those around us. That shared future is why Mitchel popped the question, that unequivocal love, is why Allison said yes.
