We're getting married!

When we look back on our journey together, the first thing that comes to mind isn't a specific date or moment—it's the feeling of finding a best friend in one another. Over the past two years, we've built a relationship rooted in love, trust, faith, laughter, and a commitment to walk through life side by side. Through both the ordinary days and the exciting milestones, we've learned that home isn't a place—it's being together. We have encouraged one another, grown together, prayed together, and dreamed about the future we hope to build. Through every season, we've discovered that the most beautiful kind of love isn't loud or flashy—it's the steady kind. The kind that brings peace where there was once uncertainty, comfort where there was once loneliness, and healing where there were once wounds. In each other, we found a safe place. A best friend. A person to laugh with, pray with, lean on, and dream with. We found the kind of love that makes ordinary days feel special and hard days feel a little lighter. The kind of love that reminds you that no matter what life brings, you never have to walk through it alone. On May 3, 2026, as the sun painted the sky over Long Beach, Washington, we got engaged. Standing there together, watching one of the most beautiful sunsets we'd ever seen, we felt overwhelmed with gratitude—not just for that moment, but for the journey that led us there. We celebrated with ice cream, full hearts, and the quiet joy of knowing we had found our forever. As we prepare to become husband and wife, we are reminded every day of how precious this gift truly is. We don't take for granted the love we share, the life we're building, or the family and friends who have supported us along the way. We are endlessly grateful for the road that brought us together and even more excited for the one that lies ahead. Out of all the paths our lives could have taken, we're thankful they led us to each other. Thank you for being part of our story. We cannot wait to celebrate this next chapter—and the beginning of our forever—with you.
