Our story starts in November 2019 when we both swiped right on a dating app. If that's not millennial, we don't know what is! Shortly after, we went on our first date to the Brazilian Bakery. Surrounded by a flock of Brazilians speaking Portuguese, John managed to keep his cool. The date went very well, so naturally...we headed down to the local bowling alley! Raquel, Blue Moon in hand, defeated John that night. We went on exciting date after exciting date. Within the first few months we'd already snuck into a classified airport hangar, traveled to the Dominican Republic, and lived in a 300 sqft apartment together for a few months (longer story). We conquered the Pandemic, a lost job, and long distance dating. We would spend every minute of every day talking, every weekend laughing and adventuring, and the months just flew by. For Spring break 2022, Raquel was finishing the last semester of her graduate program, but we still managed to find time for a vacation to St. Croix. On March 10th 2022, on a small island beach off of the island (yes, an island off of an island), we got engaged! We were surrounded by our great friends and family...and a few sunburnt tourists. It was as magical as you can imagine! After Raquel graduated in May, we moved in together to an apartment a little north of downtown Atlanta. We expanded our family by adding our loving fur baby Churro. We've been so happy, and we're so excited to share our love with all of you!
