Traeley was attending Florida Gulf Coast University while Ariel was pursuing Hospitality on Fort Myers Beach. Their paths would never have crossed if it wasn't for that one Facebook Message "Hey, do I know you?". One message lead to another and here they are, 8 years later. Meeting in 2016 allowed them to grow together in their 20's. Traeley graduated college with her Business Degree and started her Corporate Career. Ariel left the Hospitality world and started her Real Estate journey. Then came 2020 - a hell of a year... I think we all can agree to that. COVID turned the world upside down and we all had more time on our hands than we knew what to do with. Traeley & Ariel used that free time to grow their family. They soon brought their shaggy, crazy, and most joyful- hearted pup, Emmitt, home. He was the missing piece they never knew they needed. Later that year, as the world still felt like it was crumbling, Ariel asked Traeley's parents for their permission for her hand in marriage. Ariel felt that even in the hardest of times, coming home to Traeley made every day seem better than the one before. (Traeley felt the exact same way). In December of that year, Ariel was on one knee and proposed! Traeley says it was the easiest "yes" of her life. Two years later, their careers were in full force! They were living in a condo they absolutely adored but with the new work from home mandate still in full effect, they needed more space (and Emmitt needed a yard). They purchased their very first home together and made it their own. After 8 years of love, tears, joy, hardships and laughter (oh, and a pandemic no one saw coming), they are so ready to build their family even more and live the life they never thought was possible, but always dreamed of. They know they have gone through enough in their relationship to fully trust that they can conquer anything and everything this crazy world throws at them.... together, as a dream team.
