Marisa stumbled across Lynette's profile on Monday, March 7, 2022. M swiped right as L's special talent left her aghast. Standing on a podium, is not as common as you might think 🫥 Six days later, L swiped right on M, and it was a MATCH!

Our first "BIG" date. We spent the day hiking, cleaned up, and met for dinner. We ended the night at a Lorde concert! Our first concert of many :) We were official soon after on May 3, 2022 <3

Our first Pride in the Park! It was a fun day dancing in the sun, which turned into dancing under the stars.

This is one of our first family photos! Marisa screamed in the park in front of all of Chicago because she thought Max was going to bite Toro. Lynette laaaaughheeed.

Our first trip to Colorado! This was taken in Breckenridge, CO after a hike—just two gals takin' a breather.

Always laughing.

UofM vs IU game! This was the day Lynette asked Marisa's dad, Themis, for his blessing. Marisa had no idea :)

Provincetown, MA! This was the weekend Marisa got the email that Lynette's ring was finished and ready to pick up. Lynette had no idea Marisa was even looking :)

WE ARE ENGAGED!! Lynette asked Marisa in her hometown with a beautifully written poem that is now framed in our condo in Chicago.

Ringing in New Year's 2024 as fiancées!

Our fabulous engagement party! We spent the weekend mixing and mingling both sides of our family. The weekend consisted of a Chicago boat tour, a homemade Jeopardy game, a fun party, and a Father's Day brunch :) We were filled with gratitude and love.

Wedding venue "shopping" in Colorado. This is Piney River Ranch, CO! We almost had our wedding here. This fantastic location offers hiking, paddle boarding, and canoeing. This location is on our activity to-do list for all guests!

WE BOOKED THE VAIL MOUNTAIN VENUE!!! See you all at the top of the mountain!
