Mackenzie and Isaac met in a modern way by connecting on a dating app in February 2021 when masks were all the rage. But a global pandemic can't stand in the way of love! They decided to meet over coffee (a shared obsession); she was carried away by his occasional British accent, and he fell into her blueberry eyes, and that was it! A few months later, they professed their love for each other while standing in a HomeGoods parking lot on an impromptu photoshoot date. They moved into an apartment together in 2022, where they continued to grow their relationship through cups of coffee, Jenga games, trips to the gym, and an absurd amount of Indian takeout. As the year closed, they decided to take the next step in their relationship by searching for their first house! Many moons later, the housing market proved to be a tumultuous beast to tame, so our couple moved in with Mackenzie's gracious parents. During this time, Mackenzie's steadfast goal was to find their dream house BEFORE getting the ring—in fact, with this headstrong desire, she accidentally ruined Isaac's first proposal plan! But after discussing it, they agreed to wait to get engaged until they got the house. Finally, in early March 2024, they signed the papers and got the keys! Isaac, unable to wait a second longer, surprised Mackenzie by popping the question in their new living room! With her tearful response of "YES!" they turned their brand new house into their home!
