2017 - We met at Joe's on Weed Street in Chicago, IL.

June of 2020 - Jalesia had just graduated from undergrad and Arielle planned a trip to Denver, Colorado. Apart of her plans was a tour guide that doubled as a photographer to take us hiking. What she didnt know is that Jalesia snuck into her email, got the photographer/hike guide’s contact information, reached out to him, and set up a proposal. This was Arielle’s first hike. Arielle hiked up the Rocky Mountains as a single woman and came back down engaged! 🤍
