Through social media, we became internet friends in early 2012. We became close friends despite having never met one another face to face. Over the years, feelings grew and it was clear we were more than just friends. In 2014, we decided to take a step further in our relationship and become a couple. It wasn't until May of 2016 that we met physically for the first time. Since then, feelings grew immensely as we discovered a whole new and normal side to our relationship we were blinded to before from distance. In August of 2017, Ethan decided it was time to take the next step in our unique yet worthwhile relationship. He proposed in his home city of Salt Lake on the steps of the Utah State Capitol as the view over looks the city. We will be celebrating and honoring our love for one another in Fall of 2018.
