Carley and Tristan first crossed paths back in 2011, thanks to Carley’s childhood friendship with Tristan’s brother, Keenen. Over the years, their friend groups blended, and Tristan and Carley stayed connected, even as life and timing took them down separate paths. More than a decade later, fate stepped in. In the summer of 2022 Carley moved home to Fort Worth, TX and Tristan happened to be visiting from Seattle, WA. What started as catching up with old friends quickly turned into a long-distance romance between Fort Worth and Seattle. They began their relationship officially on October 22, 2022, and they haven't looked back since! Tristan soon moved to Texas in March of 2023, and not long after, a new work opportunity brought them both to Virginia Beach, VA in October of 2023. Two years into their relationship Tristan surprised Carley with a beachside proposal on November 2nd, 2024. Now, after years of intertwined friendships, cross‑country moves, and a love that always found its way back, they’re excited to celebrate their wedding with their friends and family on October 10, 2026.
