The Meet
& The Move
We were newsroom colleagues first, passing each other with little more than a polite nod. A full year went by before the turning point: a direct message sent under the guise of needing local recommendations.
The ask: Where’s a good spot in Atlanta?
The response: A solid suggestion.
The counter-offer: Are you coming with me?
His answer: Yes.
The Plot Twist
When the day arrived, Sean canceled at the last minute. The night went on anyway, but after getting lost trying to find the venue, a quick phone call for directions turned into Sean showing up in person. We’ve been inseparable ever since.
The Growth
& The Dynamic
Five years can hold a lifetime of growth. We’ve navigated real life together, built a beautiful blended family, navigating the inevitable challenges with patience and care until it all clicked, and come out stronger on the other side.
Through it all, our rhythm remains effortlessly grounded. We share a passion for art, quiet travel, and the occasional hike, though our favorite ritual will always be in the kitchen over a great meal.
The Proposal
Intimate, meaningful, and perfectly timed. While visiting Sean’s home island of St. Thomas, he proposed right on the beach, a private moment on the shore that brought everything full circle and set the tone for our future.
