10.21.20 It’s amazing how a simple swipe can turn into something extraordinary. We all know he was the one to swipe. When we connected, we had no idea where it would lead, but we had a feeling we were onto something special. 1.22.21 We were in Longboat Key, FL when we took a bike ride, stopped at DJ’s favorite place- the bird sanctuary where he surprised me with champagne and roses, all this effort just to ask me if I’d be his girlfriend.

Four years, countless adventures, and more belly laughs than we could possibly count—these are the things that have shaped our relationship into what it is today. We’ve traveled together, explored new cities, shared late-night talks, wild road trips, and weekends away—each moment felt like we were building a life we couldn’t wait to continue. And then came the moment we both realized, we can’t imagine our lives without each other. Whether it was late-night cuddles on the couch with Junior, morning coffee runs to our favorite mom-and-pop shop, Tuscan Cafe, or simply sharing the mundane moments of daily life, we realized that we make a great team together. No doubt about it.

Fast forward to January 1st. We were in Rhonda, Spain, a stunning town perched on a cliffside. It was the perfect setting for what was about to happen. And yes, if you're wondering, I knew something was coming—when your mom cues you to put on nicer shoes you know something’s about to happen. But that didn’t stop me from being shocked when he pulled out a ring. The answer was an immediate “Yes!” (Shocker, right?) Everything in our relationship had led to this moment—the adventure, the laughter, the growth, and the deep, undeniable love we’d built. It was perfect.

Now, as we approach the wedding of our dreams, we’re beyond excited to celebrate not just the love we have for each other but also the incredible community of family and friends who have supported us from the very beginning. So, here we are—months away from the wedding we’ve been planning, dreaming about, and flying back & forth for. On 5.31.25, we’ll finally say, “I do” in front of everyone we love, knowing that this is just the beginning of our next chapter. To anyone who’s ever questioned whether love can start with a swipe or whether a proposal can really happen on the edge of a cliff… we’re here to say: Absolutely, yes. We can’t wait to see where the rest of this wild, wonderful journey takes us.
