We've always shared a love for music, so it felt like fate when we first crossed paths, dancing under the desert sun at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival in California. From the very first moment, our chemistry was undeniable. What began as an natural and effortless friendship, quickly blossomed into love. After three unforgettable days together, we were delighted to discover that we had grown up in the same small town back home. A sweet reminder that love often arrives exactly when it’s meant to be. Back home, our love story continued to unfold. We spent countless days exploring the University of Washington and the city on dates, laughing, learning, and making memories. After Michael graduated, we set out to find a place to build our life together and stumbled upon a home in charming Fall City, Washington. Michael showed Lydia the excitement of the city and university life, and she shared with him the beauty of the farm and horse life. We bonded over our ties to the city and experienced wonderful memories over the years down by the river. We plan to put down roots in Fall City or stay close to the valley we love. After we’re married, we hope to find a place to call our own. A home filled with laughter, love, and warmth, where we can raise a family and create memories that last a lifetime.
