We met when we were in band class together our freshman and sophomore years of high school. Our friendship didn't blossom until we were on swim team together the next year. We quickly became close friends and even agreed to go to our school's winter formal together. On January 13, 2014, we started dating. We went to the formal together soon afterward and had an amazing night. Since then, we have both graduated high school, we are both attending Oregon State University, and we live together with our dog, Tigger. We are so excited to start our future together as husband and wife!

On March 21, 2016, we went disc golfing with a friend and Nathan's parents were supposed to join us as well. Something came up and they agreed to join us later about halfway through the course. When we rounded a corner after the tenth hole, Nathan's parents were there with a banner that he made that said, "will you marry me?" Nathan got down on one knee and asked the big question with a ring that he had picked out. He also had a bouquet of flowers ready to go and we got to enjoy some sparkling cider to celebrate. Afterward, we spent a relaxing evening together and were ecstatic to share our exciting news with the world!
