Chapter 1: The Swipe
Like a lot of modern love stories these days, ours started with a swipe. We matched on Hinge and after a few days of talking, we went on our first date - drinks at IBU Taproom. We set up the second date before the first was even over and we've pretty much been together ever since then.
Chapter 2: Always Planning the Next Adventure
One of the things we quickly bonded over was our love of travel. Weekend getaways became a regular thing, whether it was hiking in Lake Tahoe, wine weekends in Napa, meeting my family in Michigan, hanging out in Palm Springs, or taking our first international trip together to Greece. We learned the destination never really mattered as long as we were together.
Chapter 3: Building a Life
As much as we love a good trip, the best part has never been the destination. It was the everyday moments in between, like making dinner together, watching scary movies and making popcorn, playing tennis, going to the comedy club and laughing over silly things, spending holidays with our families, and simply enjoying just being together. Before we knew it, weekend plans turned into a shared home, and talking about "someday" became making plans for forever.
Chapter 4: The Easiest Yes
On the 4th of July, Chris asked me to marry him. It was a full circle moment when he proposed in Lake Tahoe, the place where we originally took our first trip together. I obviously said yes :)
Chapter 5: The Best Chapter Yet
That brings us here! Thank you to everyone coming to celebrate with us. Whether you've known us since we were kids, watched us grow as a couple, or are just getting to know one of us, we're so grateful you're here to be a part of our best adventure yet!
