Our Love Story

December 2023

Our First Date

It all started with that magical first date on December 13th, 2023. Many of you don't know that we already started planning our second date before we even had our first date.

Building Our Foundation

From romantic dinner dates to fun adventures like caving in Bristol, we quickly discovered how much we loved exploring together.

Seattle became such a special place for us. From the beautiful glass gardens to exploring the city together, it truly feels like our second home.
