Our story is my favorite love story—on our own timeline and in perfect time with our lives. We started as friends in the same college circle, always crossing paths and sharing plenty of laughs. We clicked instantly, and on March 8, 2017—our reeliversary—our journey truly began. Over the years, we’ve made it a tradition to skip Christmas gifts and celebrate our anniversary with a trip instead. We’ve explored cities like Chicago, New York, Pittsburgh, Austin, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and Belize—where Tanner proposed on a private boat at sunset on March 4, 2025, complete with champagne, cake, and a steak and lobster dinner. It was perfect :) Now we’re looking forward to our biggest celebration yet: getting married on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2026 together, intentionally, and surrounded by the people we love.
