Our journey together began in June 2021, and from the moment we met, our connection grew stronger with every passing day. We quickly discovered a deep bond through shared values, common interests, and a mutual desire to grow together. Our love for travel became one of the cornerstones of our relationship, as we embraced opportunities and most importantly celebrated each other's successes along the way. On August 30, 2024, Jesse and I took a trip to Vermont for a family vacation, but little did I know, this would mark the beginning of forever. That morning, I woke up to the beginning of a beautiful sunrise and Jesse—smiling, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and full of energy at 5:00 AM. While it wasn’t unusual for him to greet me with his signature goofy charm, I was a little suspicious of his excitement to be up so early on vacation. As we sat together on a dock overlooking Lake Champlain, wrapped in our pajamas and watching the sun rise, Jesse—after a few playful attempts to get the ring out of his pocket—finally dropped to one knee. In that quiet, perfect moment, he asked me to spend the rest of my life with him, promising a future filled with love, laughter, and happiness. We are beyond excited to share this next chapter of our love story with all of you as we prepare to say “I do” and begin our forever together.
