We started dating in January 2021 at the end of covid. We spend time growing our friendship that turned into much more. Our relationship continued to grow through after class and work phone calls to meeting each other's family and friends. As the years has gone by our relationship continued to grow and built a relationship that lead us to these last few years of navigating grad school and starting a business to the 4 mile hike before the proposal. It all has all helped build and strength our love and respect for each other during the past 5 years of being together.
