It was late 2022, just before the holidays, when fate brought us together. Like many millennials, we matched online, not knowing that a few casual meet-ups would soon turn into something far more meaningful. At first, it was just hanging out now and then, but over time, things naturally grew deeper. We found ourselves spending more and more time together—going on trips, meeting each other's family and friends, and even making a cross-country move. Every moment together brought us closer and made it clear that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives side by side.

By the time February 2024 rolled around, we were in perfect sync, and we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect moment for what came next. We found ourselves in Snowmass, CO. As we reached the top of the mountain at the end of the first day, we got engaged.
