Our story began in an athletic study hall I may or may not have been allowed to attend. Thanks to a mutual friend, we were introduced, exchanged contact information, and instantly connected. What started as a small, unexpected moment turned into a love story we’re so grateful for.

Our story took a magical turn on a place that’s always felt like home to us: the train ride at Knoebels. Every year, it’s a family tradition we never miss. Complete with laughter, memories, and even our husky, Bailey, happily along for the ride. What I didn’t know was that this familiar loop was about to become unforgettable. As the train rounded the corner, I looked up to see my family waiting, smiling… and when I turned around, there he was with the ring. In that moment, surrounded by tradition, love, and a lifetime of memories, the answer was an immediate and joyful yes.
