We met at work in Chicago in 2018 and became friends right away. After years of distracting the office with our countless puns and (oftentimes painful) banter, things finally clicked. We went on our first date on Valentine’s Day 2020, moved to Nashville on our one-year anniversary 2021, and welcomed Nala into our family on Valentine’s Day 2022. A lot can happen in two years!

During a family trip in Poland, Tony popped the question in a beautiful garden outside of our hotel. We walked under an arch and he was suddenly down on one knee. I don't remember everything that he said, but I remember asking, "are you kidding me?" and eventually (after a couple follow-ups on his end) making my way to "yes"! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Nashville!
