The couple met at Rock Mill, a climbing and yoga gym. She went to take her first acro-yoga class and couldn't take her eyes off of him. He was warming up for his movement class on the gymnastics rings. Although she had no experience, she stayed for the next class, eager to get to know him. He was reserved, intelligent, and kind. She was outgoing, bubbly, and imaginative. She made the first move to talk to him. He asked her on the first date. They had an amazing first date at Scene 75 but afterwards she told him about her dream job and that she would be traveling on tour. He said, "Ah, that's too bad. If you'd stay, you'd fall in love with me." She rolled her eyes at the time but little did she know what the future had in store for them. During her travels, he would stay in touch, sending encouraging messages and even poems. A year later, a car crash brought her home from tour. Determined to go through physical therapy and get back on tour, she had no relationship in mind. However, when they met up again, she felt drawn to him yet again. They talked about everything under the sun, danced together, explored together, and met each other's families. Before she had to go back on tour, he took her to the top of the Mohican Castle and asked her to be his girlfriend (little did they know a fluffy friend would later be named after this). From that moment on, the relationship grew from catching flights to see one another, a pandemic house shuffle, RV adventures, and the long journey of our home.
The proposal started at her yoga retreat in Costa Rica. Together they never felt more free. From four wheeling through the jungle, swimming in the ocean, feeding monkeys mangos, to the self reflection amongst nature. During the closing ceremony, everyone would go around in a circle sharing what they learned and loved about each individual on the retreat. She was the last turn in the group. After being showered in love by the retreat members, he was the last to share everything he learned and loved about her. He got on one knee, with the same music that played when they first said I love you, & asked her to be his wife. Through the tears and excitement, she said yes.
Our only gift request is money for our honeyfund. Before we embark on the journey of starting a family, we want to take our our bucket list adventure for our honeymoon. With his desire to see the pyramids & her desire to go on an African Safari, they plan to fly into Egypt to see the pyramids and then head to Kenya to go on a Safari adventure. Anything you can contribute to making this dream a reality will be cherished & appreciated. 🖤
