He came from Australia, I came from California—two worlds apart that somehow collided in Nashville, where we met on Hinge and felt an instant spark at Urban Cowboy. Seven years later, after exploring Iceland, Vietnam, New Zealand, France, and more, we were married in a Scottish castle surrounded by loved ones. From epic travels to cozy game nights, we’ve built a home full of laughter, deep love, and lasting friendships—a life rooted in connection, adventure, and joy.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our wedding in Scotland was a dream come true—set in a majestic castle surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. For three magical days, we celebrated with our closest friends and family, enjoying falconry, archery, ceilidh dancing, and tasting fine whiskey and gin. Every moment was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable joy. It wasn’t just a wedding; it was the most incredible chapter of our lives, perfectly blending adventure and romance.
What would you do with $20,000?With $20,000, we’d embark on an epic adventure to check off our bucket list—either exploring the stunning mountains of Switzerland or going on a thrilling safari in Africa. Afterward, we’d finish our basement, transforming it into a cozy speakeasy and movie theater vibe. It would be the perfect space to host friends and build a warm, fun-filled life for our future family, creating memories that last a lifetime.
