Raymer, Para Siempre ♡

It all began back in 2023 at Our World Energy. We were just two coworkers sharing lunch breaks, inside jokes, and long days filled with laughter. Somewhere between the spreadsheets and snack runs, something more began to spark. Travis made the first big move—true to his creative (and slightly mischievous) nature. One day, surrounded by our closest work friends, he chopped the top off a modelo beer can (that I now have tattooed on me), filled it with little bush flowers, and asked me the sweetest question: "Will you be my girlfriend?" That moment was hilarious, adorable, and perfect. And just like that, our love story officially began—thank you to our work family for being a part of that day. Fast forward to July 2023, and we were headed on our first "camping trip" together. Destination? Ash Fork. Lodging? A very questionable patch of land Travis booked from some random guy online. As night fell, our campsite turned into a scene from a horror film—scorpions crawling everywhere, and me, wide-eyed, convinced the property owner was about to make us the next true crime podcast episode. Travis, meanwhile, slept like a baby... after hogging the only blanket. With temps dropping to 40 degrees, I froze. The next morning, I diplomatically declared: “We’re getting an Airbnb.” Despite the chaos, it’s still one of our favorite (and funniest) memories together. Then came a life-changing moment: October 8, 2023, when I met a beautiful little girl at her favorite place, the Phoenix Zoo. That day, I gained more than just a friend—I gained a daughter. From the first hug, Odella Grace Raymer and I were best friends, and our bond continues to grow every day. By November 2023, Travis and I officially moved in together. From there, we became inseparable—our days filled with late-night jokes, binge watching Grey's Anatomy, pranks, and late night runs to QT for snacks. On March 1, 2024, we took a huge step—we moved into our first home. It was the start of a new chapter, one we filled with laughter, hope, and dreams. But we’ve also shared moments of heartbreak and healing, especially when we experienced the loss of our first child. That pain brought us even closer, reminding us how deeply we love and support each other. And then came May 4, 2025—the moment that changed everything. On a magical trip to Guadalajara, Jalisco to celebrate two years together, Travis surprised me in Tlaquepaque with a Mariachi proposal that felt straight out of a fairytale. I said yes (obviously!), and just like that, we became fiancés in Mexico. 🇲🇽💍 Now, here we are, getting ready to say “I do” in Phoenix, Arizona—the city where our love grew, and our lives came together. Surrounded by the people we cherish most, we’ll read our vows, celebrate our journey, and take the next step as husband and wife. We are, and always will be, The Raymers. Para Siempre. 🤎
