We first met on a trip to Europe in a young adult tour group after graduating college. Throughout the 4 week trip, they became fast friends with a small group of travelers and began exploring, drinking, and eating our way through many places within Europe. A year after the trip the friend group decided to have a reunion here in Portland and that's when we reconnected. We both had just moved to Downtown Portland and found we had similar interests. We started to see each other often and whether we knew it or not, had fallen for each other. It took a bit of courage (and peer pressure) but eventually we started dating in January of 2020. Things started off amazing and before we knew it, the world had shut down. Our relationship became even stronger as we isolated within the same “covid bubble” and relied on each other to find a new normal. A deep love for one another was made through all the difficult and not so difficult times. In March of 2023, Garrett proposed on the Vancouver Waterfront and now we are so excited to tie the knot!
