Conversation flowed and sparks flew, and we quickly fell in love!Between then and now, we have lived so much life by each other's sides. In 2024, we adopted two brother cats, named Napoleon and Goose.Drake proposed on December 5th, 2025. We love the life we've built together, and we can't wait to take the next step and tie the knot!
