We met in 2021 at Emory's business school in Atlanta. Back then, we were just two friends in totally different parts of our lives — swapping stories, traveling with friends, and laughing our way through weekends without a clue of what the future held.

Fast forward: life changed, timing aligned, and in the spring of 2023 we went on our first date. A few weeks later, we made a very “us” decision — to test our brand-new relationship with a three-week trip across Europe. It could've gone terribly. It didn’t.

Since then, we’ve spent as much time as we can with family in San Antonio and Birmingham, and sneaking away to beaches, mountains, lakes, and anywhere that feels like an adventure.
