From awkward first hellos to planning a wedding, here’s how it all happened — in both of our words. Her: He’s from a small town in Oregon. I’m from El Paso. We probably never would’ve crossed paths — until one day, I was scrolling through FitFam’s Instagram and saw a funny comment he left on a post. I liked it without thinking much of it. Him: Minutes later, I saw the notification. She liked my comment… and I thought, okay, she’s cute — I have to shoot my shot. So I sent her a friend request and waited. Her: I accepted, of course… then waited (not-so-patiently) for a message. Him: Eventually, I worked up the nerve to message her. I asked her out to dinner — not knowing that restaurant would become our place. It’s where we’ve celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, promotions, and just about everything else. Her: That first night, we talked for hours. It felt so easy. After that, we were pretty much inseparable. When he went back to Oregon for a week to visit family, it hurt more than I expected. Him: The night I got back, I asked her to be my girlfriend. I knew she was something special. Her: A few months later, he surprised me with a backpacking trip through Europe. We visited so many countries in such a short time — I came home with a box full of memories that I’ll treasure forever. Him: Then came February 16th. We were on top of a snowy mountain in Grindelwald, Switzerland. It was freezing, but it was perfect. I got down on one knee and asked her to be my wife. Both: And the rest is history — or rather, the beginning of our greatest adventure yet.
