Our Story

We swiped right! We have both been living relatively close to each other over the years and never knew it; including when Rayna lived in Shreveport, Louisiana and Nick was working in the Port of Houston! But on Easter Sunday in 2024, we met for coffee in Anchorage and then ended up on 3 more dates over the next two weeks where Rayna taught Nick to country swing and two step. We’d been talking online for about 2 weeks before we met in person but it only took 3 dates for Rayna to know Nick was it. We’ve shared spontaneous camping trips, meeting at campgrounds around the state while Nick was working in Fairbanks and Rayna working in Anchorage. We’ve fished from Fairbanks to Homer, including midnight fishing at Kasilof on July 4th for the last 2 summers. It’s become one of our favorite traditions! We’ve traveled across the US and to Mexico and finally our first cruise where Nick proposed and Rayna said yes! We can’t wait to celebrate our day with you all and share the love we’ve grown with our closest friends and family.
