Aaron and Cheyenne met in 2018 when they were both 19, thanks to mutual friends who decided to play matchmaker. Their first date was unforgettable—Cheyenne was his wedding date at a wedding in Alabama—and what began as a setup quickly turned into something special. After years of long distance filled with texts, FaceTime calls, and cross-country flights, they finally closed the distance in 2022 when Cheyenne moved to Idaho to live with Aaron. Since then, they’ve added a puppy named Remington, bought their first home, and continued building a life together. Aaron proposed at Redfish Lake, on the beach, choosing a place that made both of them feel close to home as they were raised by the coast. Aaron hid a message in a bottle that read, “Will you marry me?”—and of course, Cheyenne said yes!
