Even while she lived in Portland, Hayley was a bona fide New Mexican. Every summer, she roasted Hatch green chile for grocery stores across the city. Little did she know that the man of her dreams was working at the New Seasons Market just a couple blocks away from her apartment. Seth was the only employee she had ever met who helped her on the job, pulling out cases of chile from the store's walk-in fridge and making her work so much easier. To return the favor, Hayley roasted Seth a peck of peppers on the house. He returned, on his day off, to get her number before she left... but it was too late. She was gone. Fast-forward a year later, where our starstruck lovers reconnected on a popular dating app. Seth took Hayley to a haunted house on their first date, and she knew the moment he picked her up that this guy was the Real Deal. By Thanksgiving of 2019, they were in love. The two spent a fairytale lockdown together, watching bad movies and taking long, pointless walks, until Hayley left Portland to start grad school in Albuquerque. Seth followed her down south a year later, and the rest was history. Seth proposed to Hayley on top of Wheeler Peak, the highest point in New Mexico, in October of 2022. Though they endured some tough times between then and now, they are so excited to celebrate their union with the people they love most :)
