Ethan and Brooke met on Hinge in the fall of 2023. After a quick coffee date to confirm neither of them was secretly a psychopath, they headed to Eureka Springs for their first real date. Somewhere between wandering the town and laughing a little too easily, it just clicked. Their first kiss happened at the Crescent Hotel, yes, the haunted one, so technically their relationship had an audience from day one. Even though they met in Northwest Arkansas, they later realized they were both born in Columbia, South Carolina. Since then, life has been full in the best way, traveling, concerts, free diving, board games with family and friends, candy taste tests, exploring new cities and museums, spending time with their golden retriever, and getting just competitive enough when it comes to video games. Everyone around them says they have never seen either of them this happy, and they would have to agree. Ethan proposed in Trieste, Italy, at a castle by the sea, right before they celebrated with a road trip through the Dolomites (scroll down to see him pop the question). Now settled in Tulsa, they are stepping into their next chapter, engagement and marriage, and they could not be more excited. They cannot wait to celebrate with all of you in June 2027!
