Our Story
Our story began on a mid-October night in 2017
-two strangers drawn together on a crowded fance floor. From that moment on, something just felt right.
Between college days, quiet mornings, and cozy dinners in our first apartment-shared with our cat, Kimba-our love grew in the small, steady moments that made each day feel special.
In 2022, we followed the sun west to Arizona.
There, beneath the desert sky on our favorite hiking trail, Jared got down on one knee and asked Nina to spend forever together. The next chapter begins now-with all of you.
