By the end of 2023, we really only knew who each other were. Our paths crossed a handful of times, but our friendship grew regardless. Worlds continued to collide early in 2024 thanks to social events, pickleball, and somewhat random encounters at café Medici. Crushes were soon fully realized and synced up after connecting over our creative interests and having a desire to talk about anything that gave us more insight into one another. So, we had our first date over pizza and wine and a couple laps around Laguna Gloria. A little less than a month later, we were "official." Fast forward to today, we are officially engaged and can’t imagine our lives without each other. The Lord has provided so much for us in such a short time: The gift of our relationship, the wisdom and support of our family and friends, the opportunity to grow and encourage each other spiritually, the clarity to move toward marriage, and countless other good things that can only be attributed to Him. We are so grateful for all the ways we have been able to continue saying “yes” to one another and we can’t wait to finally say “I do” while surrounded by the people dearest to us. Love, Hanna & James
