Together Forever

It all began on a winding mountain trail, the scent of pine heavy in the air, tires crunching over dirt. Katie noticed Arthur first—calm, capable, completely at home, teaching 100 women how to navigate the terrain on two wheels. There was something about him, something grounded and magnetic. She felt pulled to know more. With a spark of curiosity (and maybe a little boldness), she asked if he’d want to be part of a project she was working on. Arthur, intrigued but cautious, took his time. Weeks passed. Then, out of the blue, a text lit up Katie’s phone: "What’s your ride schedule?" She smiled. "Whatever you need it to be". That’s how it started. What followed was a love story neither could have drawn up—full of dirt trails, laughter, and the kind of love that feels both wild and steady. Over the next two years, Katie and Arthur built something more than a relationship—they built a life. A life made of sunrises and snowy mountain evenings, road trips to Arthur’s hometown, and weekends cheering at races. And always, Arlin and Sayur were there—partners in every sense of the word. Whether carving turns on frosty hills, sharing campfire dinners, or helping dream up the vision for their future campground, it is the four of them, always a team. Together, they turned small moments into something meaningful, teaching and learning, laughing and growing. Somewhere between the ski tracks and the late-night talks, they became more than just two people in love. They became a family—best friends, allies, the kind of team that holds strong through every climb and descent. At some point, Katie quietly started piecing together a video with her colleagues at work not just to sell navigation software, but to show Arthur something simple: the way he shows up. The way the kids experience him. The way he leads, and the steadfast and unconditional love he brings to their life together. And when Arthur finally watched it, he saw himself through Katie's eyes. The way she already knew him. On December 30th, Katie got down on one knee—not just to Arthur, but to Arlin and Sayur too—and asked: “Will you three marry me?” Now, standing at the edge of this next chapter, Katie and Arthur are ready to keep building. Ready to chase their dreams of raising their kids in the outdoors, growing their vision for their shared home, and—most of all—continuing to be each other’s greatest teammate. They believe in what they’re creating. They believe in each other. And they’re ready to celebrate this next part of the story—with all of you.
