Rachel and Connor’s story began back in 2016, when they met as high school students in their Asian Humanities class. What started as a classroom connection quickly turned into something more. That fall, they went to their homecoming dance together—and by their senior year, it was clear they had fallen in love.

In 2024, Rachel and Connor took an unforgettable trip with their three dogs,—Big Sky, Montana; Yellowstone National Park; Grand Teton National Park; and Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Surrounded by wide-open skies, mountain views, and the adventure they love, Connor proposed while the two were horseback riding in Big Sky, Montana. It was the perfect moment—thoughtful, scenic, and completely them—marking the start of their next chapter together.
