Our Story

B) We started dating in March of 2019! Pictured is our very 1st picture together.

C) We had our 1st date at Las Fuentas. It was a snowy evening and at the end of the date Matthew stood in the cold and cleaned all the snow off my car for me. That nice gesture earned him a 2nd date!

B) Matthew said it first. (Circa 2019) It was after a lovely date, & I was drifting to sleep & caught him staring at me. He whispered “I love you.” A moment so simple, yet one I’ll never forget.

C) Together, we’ve wandered through 5 countries and we can’t wait to see where love takes us next.

C) In about 28 years, you’ll find us soaking up the sun in Panama! Don’t worry, we’ll still be around plenty, especially with our two daughters giving us every excuse to visit often.

B) 8 years apart. The perfect mix of big sister wisdom and little sister chaos! Double the love, double the laughter, and a lifetime of sisterly adventures ahead. ✨

A) It was 10 degrees out! We’re pretty sure the windchill factor made it feel more like -2 degrees!

D) Had our youngest been a boy, we would have named him Liam John Bauman. Luckily for me, she came out a girl — and we couldn’t be happier with our Maiya! 💕

C) Six Flags! It became a yearly tradition for the 3 of us before we even realized it. Our only wish? That when she’s grown, she keeps the tradition alive & still saves us a spot on the Batman Ride.

D) Fried green tomatoes! A treasured Southern favorite my mother shared with me when I was a little girl. Sharing it with Matthew brings back so many sweet memories . 💕
