When Cal and I began building this website for our friends and family to view, we opted not to add our "story". We're both very private when it comes to our relationship and prefer more intimate moments for expressions of our love. When we got to the gallery section of building this website, we debated whether to share only our engagement photos or highlight moments of our relationship. During this debate, we went back to grab the first picture we ever took together - and this picture is what made us change our minds and begin typing this story for you all. On September 3rd, 2024, Calvin proposed. The date became so significant to us that we decided we would be married exactly 1 year later on September 3rd, 2025. Please enjoy the first photo ever taken of Calvin and I - with an iPhone 6 camera - on September 3rd, 2016. It's been a long time coming. We've both grown and changed so much since that very first picture. We've accomplished more than we could have ever imagined 9 years ago and we are so excited to add this next milestone to that list!!! #DancewiththeOkolis!
