Our Story

Mckenna and Garrett were love at first swipe in August of 2021. Garrett and Mckenna hit it off immediately, bonding over their love for country music and outdoor activities. On September 4th, 2021 while riding in his RZR, Garrett asked Mckenna to be his girlfriend on a couples trip to the Black Hills. From there, their love continued to grow. Garrett proposed to Mckenna while on Carda family vacation in Aruba on December 21st, 2022. What a beautiful place to say "YES!"
