We’re Jordan and Shelly, and like many modern love stories, ours began online in Phoenix, Arizona. It wasn’t anything extravagant, but it quickly became something incredibly special. Interestingly, we both almost canceled our first date, but we decided to go through with it. We ended up talking for hours and discovered how much we had in common. From that moment, everything just clicked. About a week after we started dating, Jordan had to leave town for over a month. Even with the distance, we stayed connected the entire time. When he got back, it felt completely natural to pick up right where we left off. We started exploring Arizona together, and our very first photo as a couple was taken on a hike in Flagstaff. That early love for adventure turned into a shared goal of visiting all the national parks. So far, we’ve been to 30 parks together, and the list keeps growing! On May 28, 2025, during a trip to Italy, Jordan proposed. We had just finished bikepacking through Tuscany and visiting the colorful villages of Cinque Terre. A few days later, on a peaceful sunrise hike in the Dolomites, surrounded by mountains and no one else around, he asked the big question, and Shelly said yes! From our first date to every trail and summit since, our journey has been full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. We can’t wait for the adventures still to come!
