We started dating on July 1, 2020. Five years later, on July 1, 2025, we got engaged. It felt right to come full circle on the same date where everything began. So when it came time to choose a wedding date, we didn’t have to think twice—July 1, 2026. Now, one date marks where we started, when we got engaged, and when we’ll say "I do." We’re so excited to share this moment with all of you!
We've known each other since 8th grade, but we didn't grow close until high school. Towards the end of our junior year we added each other on snapchat. After a few months of car dates, target runs, and lake days we officially started dating. Entering our senior year, we both began thinking about our futures. Together, we decided to move to Spokane, WA after graduation. Before making it official, we took a trip to visit during spring break. That trip helped us see the possibilities and imagine our life ahead. Moving away from everything familiar was intimidating, but it never felt scary. That decision, and everything that followed, shaped us in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Living in a new city helped us grow, not only as individuals but as a couple. We learned how to navigate life together by growing in faith and love, pursuing our dreams, and lifting each other up through every season. Spokane became more than just the place we moved to; it became the backdrop to our journey and a stepping stone toward the future God has planned for us.
