We're getting married!

If you know us, you've probably heard this story multiple times... I, Ariana, was looking for basically any human connection, and Sofie was set against any kind of online profiles. But thankfully one of her best friends (Ashley - thank you!) chose to step in and make her a profile. Thankfully, she didn't know how to filter for distance, so she found me! Once I passed the first interview, I reached out to Sofie directly and we had an instant connection. I was scheduled to visit my dad in PA the next week and told her I wanted to try and see her.....she thought I was crazy! (And maybe I was....but I wanted to see if the connection was real!) So, I rented a car and drove 7 hours (BOTH ways to see her for 2 or 3 hours)....Sofie made sure to take a picture of me to send to her friends as reassurance I was real, but was still extremely reserved...she wouldn't even hold my hand - rude! We spoke every day after that and finally started realizing this could be something... The universe was on our side because, through work, previously planned vacation, and determination, we were able to see each other several times throughout the next few months. Once the pandemic hit and everything was locking down, we knew we didn't want to be apart so she hopped on the first flight out and came to New Mexico in March of 2020. We didn't know that was her official move day, but we haven't looked back since... As crazy as we are, our love is strong and we both know just how blessed we have been and continue to be. I couldn't ask for a better, more dedicated partner and I can't wait to share this day with our family and friends!!
