Our Love Story It all started with a message… and a mutual love for the beach. We met on Facebook in 2022—two single parents navigating life, each raising a daughter close in age, and living worlds apart. She was a girl from the big city of New York; he was a boy from a small country town. But somehow, fate—and maybe a few friendly comments—brought us together. For a year, we were just friends, connecting through conversations, laughter, and shared dreams. Then in August 2023, we finally met in person for a beach date… and everything changed. From that very first day, we’ve been inseparable. It felt easy, natural, and meant to be—like we’d been waiting our whole lives to find each other. In July 2024, at the same beach we shared our first date, we got engaged, promising to build a life full of love, laughter, and sandy toes. Now, we can’t wait to say “I do” and celebrate the next chapter of our journey—with the people who’ve supported and loved us along the way.
