We decided on forever and can't wait to celebrate with all of you! We met through mutual friends in Portland, Oregon a few years ago. From there, we became good friends and then a couple and started spending a lot of time together, from hiking state parks around Oregon to doing karaoke every Thursday night! In March 2020, our relationship changed when our adventures took a turn inward. Karaoke nights became movie nights, and though the hikes didn't stop they became much more solitary adventures but filled with deep conversations that brought us closer together. That left us strong enough to take on a long distance relationship! Despite being far away from each other, we still managed to have fun with months long visits and frequent virtual date nights. During one of those visits, we decided we were ready and got engaged in the city where we met!
