Martin and Rachel met in 2015 during their freshman year at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. They immediately bonded over their love of music and made their relationship official on April 17th, 2016. The two spent their college years attending concerts, hiking, hanging with friends, and becoming cat parents together! Once Martin and Rachel graduated in 2019, they moved onto their next chapter in Charlotte, NC. After 7 years together, Martin proposed to Rachel on a hiking date at Table Rock Mountain in Linville Gorge--where they had one of their first dates 7 years prior.
