Our Story

Our Story

We met way back in February of 2023, through the highly effective and uplifting medium of dating apps. We had our first date at a coffee shop that was a 20 minutes' drive for each of us, even though we only worked 2 minutes away from each other. Since that first meeting, we have spent a lot of time together. We've provided a selection of our greatest hits below.


In this short time, we have enjoyed a kind and easy love. We have both been blessed with good families who have guided us towards similar values. We find common humor in many things, big and small. We have experienced the greatest pleasure of a best friend who supports one another in all things. It was a simple realization that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together.

Belle Isle. Nearly five months into dating, we remembered we should probably take a picture together.

The Redford Theatre. We love going to the movies. At the Redford, we have treated each other to picks such as The Princess Diaries and 1931's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Clearwater Aquarium. We had to listen to a young child ask where they could see Winter the Dolphin, only for the staff member to then have to explain that Winter died years ago.

Kalahari. We decided to celebrate our one-year anniversary by going to the water park. This trip doubled as a good way to avoid watching the Super Bowl.

The Wilson House. This was the day we moved in together. At one point, Dean had to figure out how to covertly show the engagement ring to our mothers without Elizabeth noticing.

Isle of Skye. After an arduous eight-hour drive through the Scottish countryside, we spent a few days braving 30mph winds, avoiding steering off cliffs on one-lane roads, and watching lots of Harry Potter.
