We matched using the dating app, Tinder, back in January 2021. We talked for about a month before Brandon decided to ask me out on a date. Our first date didn't quite go to plan, but neither of us cared. We were excited to finally meet and spend time together. After that, we saw each other every week and became best friends. Over the next few months and years we filled our time doing our favorite activities including hiking, kayaking, and spending time with friends and family. In January 2023, while we were hiking in a Wisconsin State Park, Brandon decided to propose. As a reflection of our first date, it didn't go exactly as planned, but that made it even more meaningful. We are excited to take the next step in our relationship and get married!
