We met 12 years ago in the most unexpected way — at a NASCAR race. Neither of us had planned it, but a last-minute twist put us both there. Nothing really happened that day, just a quick crossing of paths.

It was a little later, at a birthday party, that things truly began. We talked, exchanged numbers, and soon realized how natural it felt to be around each other. From there, conversations turned into friendship, and friendship into something more — built on shared values, trust, and laughter.

Not long after, we moved in together. A couple of years later, our family grew when Eko, our cocker spaniel, came into our lives. From day one, he became the most wonderful four-pawed son — loved beyond measure and the heart of our home.

We’ve always been a grounded, relaxed couple. For a long time, marriage wasn’t really on our minds — we felt happy and fully committed as we were. But as the years passed, we understood that love also grows through the steps you take together.

In 2025, while celebrating a birthday in Paris, came the surprise: the proposal. It was thoughtful, heartfelt, and perfectly us. Now, as we prepare for this new chapter, we do it with gratitude, with faith, and with the same love that has guided our story since the beginning.
