Niklas and I met in one of the most magical places on earth—Hawaii. He had moved from Germany and joined the army where he was stationed on the island, while I had taken a leap of faith, moving there on a whim and falling in love with its breathtaking beauty. Our first meeting felt like a scene from a dream: we watched the sunset, sat under a blanket of stars, and talked for hours, completely losing track of time, neither of us wanting the night to end. From that very moment, we both knew we had found the person we wanted to spend forever with. Our time in Hawaii was nothing short of amazing. We built a life together, filled with love, laughter, and the joy of welcoming two more fur babies, Artemis and Ellie, into our family. Now, as we prepare to embark on a new chapter in Oregon, we’re ready to say “I do” and continue this incredible journey together.
