We're getting married!

We first met in high school through mutual friends, and what started as a simple introduction quickly turned into something we didn’t expect, but are so grateful for. About a year later, we officially started dating, and from that point on, life has been one big shared adventure. Through all the ups, downs, and everything in between, we’ve grown up together and built a relationship rooted in friendship, laughter, and love. After high school, we both attended Chico State, where we earned our degrees in Agricultural Business. College brought late nights studying, new experiences, and even more memories together. It also strengthened our shared passion for agriculture and helped shape the dreams we have for our future. Chico State will always hold a special place in our story as the place where we not only grew individually, but also as a couple. In December, we traveled to Nashville, Tennessee to celebrate our 21st birthdays with our families. While spending time along the river, one of us got down on one knee and asked the easiest question of our lives. Surrounded by the people who have supported us from the very beginning, we said “yes” to forever. It was the perfect moment, full of love, happy tears, and a whole lot of celebrating afterward. By the time we say “I do,” we will have been together for six years. Six years of growing up side by side, supporting each other’s goals, and choosing each other every day. Now, we’re beyond excited for the next chapter as we build a life together rooted in family, hard work, and shared dreams. We are especially excited to begin our next adventure back home in Orland, where we plan to start our own cattle operation. It feels so meaningful to take everything we’ve learned and build something of our own, together. We are so grateful for everyone who has been part of our journey so far, and we cannot wait to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people we love most.
