We met in the most modern way—on Tinder—but our love quickly became timeless. Our first date at Costco turned into our favorite tradition, and just days after Christmas, Hayden asked me to be his girlfriend in front of the Bean in Chicago. Life soon tested us when Vy accepted a job in Fort Wayne, Indiana, beginning a long-distance chapter filled with miles, late-night calls, and weekends spent driving between Michigan and Indiana just to be together. Though the distance was hard, our hearts never wavered—we knew, even then, that this love was meant to last. Two years later, we decided it was time to stop counting miles and move into our first apartment together and begin our next chapter. During the Fall of 2025, we decided to take a sporadic trip to one of the most beautiful places on earth—Banff, Canada. Hayden surprised me by proposing atop the Big Beehive, overlooking the breathtaking Lake Louise and the Appalachian Mountains. In that perfect moment, I said yes to my forever, to my best friend, and to the love of my life. We are so thrilled to say " We Do" in September. RAAWWRR 🦕🦖
