Ana and Dakota’s journey began in 2018, when they met and quickly discovered their shared love for the gym and good food. From that moment on, they’ve been lifting each other up (literally and figuratively) and building a life filled with love, laughter, and adventure. In 2020, they faced one of their biggest challenges—quarantine! Having just moved in together, they learned how to navigate being in the same room 24/7. Spoiler alert: they not only survived but thrived, growing closer and creating new memories with their two dogs by their side. Over the years, Ana and Dakota have shared countless adventures and supported each other through life’s biggest milestones. From earning Ana’s master’s degree in 2022 (while pregnant with their first daughter) to welcoming their second daughter in 2024, their love and partnership have only grown stronger. Together, they love traveling and exploring new places, collecting memories and stories along the way. One of their most cherished moments came in May 2022, during a trip to Waikiki, Hawaii, when Dakota surprised Ana with a romantic beach proposal. With flowers and a huge “Marry Me” sign, he asked her to be his forever. Of course, she said yes—even if it took a moment for her to realize the proposal was for her (mom brain, anyone?). Now, they’re thrilled to celebrate their love with family and friends in this special ceremony. Thank you for being part of their journey!
