We met in 2022 the way many great modern love stories begin—with a dating app and just enough optimism to agree to a first date at a brewery in Ballard. We had a beer, got to talking, and something about it just felt easy—like the start of something worth seeing through. As we kept seeing each other, things slowly fell into place—taco runs, weekend adventures, and eventually, the real test: introducing our pets. Ollie, my rescue pup with strong opinions and a soft spot for snacks, met Terry, Nick’s tripod cat with main-character energy and no time for nonsense. Somehow, they made it work—and so did we. Now here we are, planning a wedding and building a life that includes lots of laughter, shared takeout, and a very delicate peace treaty between a dog who thinks he’s in charge and a cat who *actually* is. We can’t wait to celebrate with all of you!
