We met first in the fall of 2021, where we both played on a Hosanna team at Whitworth University. We built a fun friendship over that year that carried over into the next year as worship leaders, classmates, and coworkers. In the beginning of 2023, we had a lovely will-they-won't-they stage that lasted a couple months (admittedly, longer than it should have) leading to a long conversation that ended up with us committing to being a couple at 3am. Over the next 13 months, our relationship blossomed as we continued to listen to each other, learn from one another, and fall deeper in love. One proposal and many weeks of long-distance dates later, we are so ready to be married and to celebrate this occasion with you all!
