Our story began unexpectedly in the summer of 2020 when Aaron was temporarily living in Youngstown due to the pandemic, while Carson was in Columbus. Despite the distance, we quickly connected and found ourselves very interested in each other. However, the challenges of a pandemic-era long-distance relationship eventually led us to lose touch for a while. Fast forward three years, and fate brought us back to the same city, Columbus. A chance reconnection led to a coffee date that reignited the spark immediately. We quickly realized that initial connection was still very much alive, and our feelings for each other grew even stronger. Since that reconnection, our lives have become intertwined with shared passions and cherished moments. While we enjoy cozy evenings binge-watching our favorite TV shows, spending quality time with our beloved family and friends is what we value above all else. You'll often find us in the kitchen, excitedly exploring new recipes and cooking delicious meals together. We also share a love for travel, whether it's exploring new cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and New York, or turning work trips into mini-adventures. Life took a hilarious and heartwarming turn when Carson brought our furry companion, Ollie, into the picture, adding a whole new level of joy (and a bit of chaos!) to our home. Our relationship blossomed quickly after reconnecting in Columbus. We officially started dating in August of 2023, and while the proposal happened in December of 2024, the truth is, we had long known in our hearts that we had found our forever in each other. Getting engaged was simply the beautiful next step in a journey we both knew was meant to last a lifetime. We are incredibly excited to celebrate our love story with all of you, the people who mean the world to us. Thank you for being a part of our journey, and we can't wait to embark on this next chapter as husband and wife!
