Some love stories start in coffee shops. Ours started in the dark... ghost hunting. We met chasing spirits, but what we found was something even more hauntingly beautiful—each other. From the start, our shared curiosity, laughter, and love of the weird and wonderful brought us together. Whether we're hiking through the woods, camping under the stars, or plotting our next prank, life has been an adventure ever since. For our first date, Shawn took me to play with otters. (Yes, actual otters!) It was playful, unexpected, and perfectly us. That day, he gave me a glimpse of just how thoughtful, fun, and steady he is—and I’ve never stopped falling for him. Months later, in a full-circle moment, he brought me back to the same place and asked me to be his otter half. I said yes… through tears and laughter. We still ghost hunt. We still hike. We still laugh until our sides hurt. But now we get to do it all hand-in-hand. He’s my safe place, my rock, and the love I never saw coming—but always hoped for.
