While we actually met through a mutual acquaintance in 2012, our love story didn’t really begin until 2019. In February of that year, I took a chance and messaged Tanner on Instagram. He had posted a picture of his clean-shaven face and I decided to let him know I liked him better with a beard. That comment led to more messages and our eventual first date a week later. It wasn’t long after that, we both knew it was the start of something wonderful. Tanner proposed at High Banks Metro Park on November, 27, 2020, which was the easiest yes I have ever given. Tanner and I and our two kitties, Elphie and Evie, are so excited to be on this adventure together and know that “Happy is what happens when all your dreams come true!”
