We can't wait to celebrate the beginning of our lives together with you.

Our story is quite fun and lengthy! If you want to hear the full details, come to the wedding! Here are the main story points, though. We met on our study abroad program through the University of Utah in Osaka, Japan on May 30, 2016. During the program, we liked each others' roommates, so we became very close very quick by trying to be each others' wingman. Those pursuits didn't work out for either one of us, but we stayed really close after the program ended. In September 2017, Ethan got me a job at the place he was working at. We spent a lot of hours together at the office just talking and having fun and I caught feelings in December 2017. In March 2018, I quit that job to pursue a full-time job elsewhere, but that didn't stop me and Ethan from seeing each other. We both invested in a gym membership and became regulars at VASA. As we started spending more time with each other that spring, Ethan started to wonder if the friendship meant more to him. From there, the feelings just continued to grow stronger. Mind you, we weren't dating during all of this. We hadn't even talked about our feelings for each other. We were just hanging out together pretty much everyday at the gym (surprisingly enough, we were actually pretty diligent at exercising while we were there!). This continued until the beginning of December 2018 when I couldn't hold my feelings in any longer and asked Ethan out on our official first date. To Ethan's credit, he beat me to the actual first date by asking me out for a sooner date and ended up (finally) kissing me that night. We officially started dating on December 14, 2018 and two amazing years later we are getting married on our anniversary :)
