We’re getting married!

Rachael and I met on Tinder! We matched up while I was living in Vancouver. After a few text we decided to meet up and have dinner at a brew pub in Woodland. We hit it off and had a great time. Rachael had a great sense of humor and had a joyful energy to be around. We quickly made plans to have dinner again the following week when I would be in Longview. Again, we had a great date and I knew Rachael was one of the most unique people I had ever met. Then, we had conflicting schedules and lost contact over the next month. Flash forward almost exactly a year later, I had accepted a new job and moved to Longview and again, Rachael and I matched on Tinder. Our second first date was at Rachael's house where I put together her grill and after we talked for hours. That night I knew there was no chance I would let anything in the way of seeing her. A week later I realized I had been lucky enough to go on two first dates with my future wife. Rachael has made a better, happier and more fulfilled man than I could ever have hoped. In the summer of 2022 Rachael gave me a love that I can't accurately describe on this page, she made me a father to our amazing little girl Saylor Marie Besco. Watching Rachael be an amazing mother to our daughter has been the greatest experience of my life. On June 2nd, 2023 I made the best decision of my life and proposed to Rachael and was lucky enough for her to say yes.

Brady and I first met at the bowling alley while I was out with some friends celebrating my birthday back in the summer of 2019. We chatted briefly at the bar while our mutual friends were talking and went our separate ways. The next day, we matched on Tinder! We made plans pretty quick to meet up. Brady was living in Vancouver at the time so we decided to have our first date at a brew pub in Woodland. Brady was very charming and funny and our conversation was effortless. It was clear to me that we would be going out again, which we did the following week. After another great date, distance and conflicting schedules got the best of us both and we drifted apart. As fate would have it, we matched again on Tinder almost exactly a year later! I knew in that moment that we were destined to be in each other’s lives. We quickly made plans to get together, Brady came over and built my grill for me. We laughed and talked for hours and it felt like no time had passed since we saw each other. From that moment on we were inseparable. We both knew early on that this was the relationship both of us were looking for. Our goals and values were aligned and we were eager to start our family together. Brady gave me the biggest blessing of all and made me a mother. We welcomed our beautiful baby girl, Saylor in August 2022. Flash forward to June 2023, we took a much needed trip just the two of us to Chelan,Wa. Brady proposed to me at the most romantic winery that over looked the lake. It was the easiest yes of my life. I am so happy to be spending the rest of my life by his side, I couldn’t ask for a better partner.
