It all started with a swipe on Hinge, a fast connection, and a bold decision to have a first date on the beach in December 2024. ❄️🌊 Somewhere between sandy shoes and ocean air, they both knew this was different. What started as a dating app match quickly turned into something steady, joyful, and deeply rooted. They bonded over their shared love for Jesus, for the mountains, and for living life in motion — the kind of couple who considers “fun” to include rock climbing walls, ski slopes, hiking trails, and sleeping in tents. Together, they’ve built a relationship that thrives on adventure, fresh air, and a little bit of Type II fun. Almost exactly one year after that very first chilly beach date, he brought things full circle. In December 2025, on the same beach where it all began, he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. This time, the only thing colder than the weather was the ring. 💍 From a winter beach date to a lifetime of mountain adventures, this is a love story built on faith, courage, and saying “yes” — to each other, and to whatever summit comes next.
