our story

It was the summer of 2020 and the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. An uncertain, heavy time when the last thing on your mind is you’re about to meet your person. But we did. And it’s something we’ll always be grateful for. Even in the middle of a challenging chapter, something beautiful began.

Those early days were spent outside by necessity, but it turned out to be the best possible setting to get to know each other. Our first dates included patio drinks (shoutout Kasey’s Bar & Printers Row Wine), drive-in movies, camping trips, and long walks - sometimes 12 miles at a time. We connected quickly over our shared love of exploring and haven’t slowed down since.

If you know us, you know we love a good adventure - and even more, a great rooftop party in Chicago. After 5 years together filled with travel, laughter, and a lot of shared playlists, we’ve built a life we love, side by side. Whether we’re wandering through a new city or hosting dinner for friends, our favorite moments are the ones we get to share with the people we love most.

At the heart of our relationship is a deep friendship, a shared sense of curiosity, and a true appreciation for the people in our lives who make every moment more meaningful.
