Our Love Story

Though Hannah and John went to high school together, it wasn’t until years later that fate truly brought them together. They were both living their separate lives when Hannah took the first step—sending John a message on Twitter, inviting him to go on a date. John, playing a little hard to get, initially made her work for it, but it didn’t take long for Hannah’s charm and persistence to wear him down. And the rest, as they say, is history. From that moment on, they quickly discovered they shared a deep connection and a love for adventure. Whether they’re kicking around a soccer ball, conquering video game worlds, or playing with their mischievous dog, Butter, Hannah and John are happiest when they’re together. Traveling and exploring new places has become a favorite pastime, and they’ve created countless memories in the process. In late September, John decided it was time to make their journey together official in the most unexpected way. They were getting ready to head out the door, running late as usual, when chaos ensued. Butter, ever the troublemaker, had just chewed up a tissue, leaving Hannah flustered as she scrambled to get everything together. John, seizing the moment, took Butter to his room to put her away. He called out to Hannah, saying the dog had something in her mouth and he needed help. Hannah, expecting to see a chewed-up tissue or toy, walked into the room only to find Butter with a different kind of treasure: a ring box. Confused at first, she turned around, only to see John down on one knee, holding out the ring and asking her to spend forever by his side. And with a heart full of love and excitement, she said yes.
