We met in the classic way- Hinge! After chatting for about a week, we finally met for our first date. It was late August, the height of COVID, 108 degrees out and raining ash. Despite that, we ended up sitting outside LowBrau for over four hours, sharing stories and eating duck fat fries. And that’s how you know it was special from the start!

Carter proposed on the steps of Sacre Couer overlooking Paris on the second to last day of McKinley’s birthday trip. It was such an incredible, magical experience, he even made her laugh when the ring got stuck in his pocket! McKinley said, “I knew it!” and then she said yes! Sipping drinks and watching the world go by in the Artists’ Square the perfect way to celebrate.
