We met in 2021 while working together at Colorado State University, becoming friends first and not knowing where it would lead. By the summer of 2022, we were spending every single day together - the kind of easy, effortless stretch of time that makes you realize you’ve found your person.

When Sloan graduated and moved back to Austin for her first job, we decided our story was worth the miles. We did long-distance from August 2022 to March 2023, planning weekend trips, sharing stories about our days, and counting down until the next visit.

In March 2023, Conner was able to move to Austin. We’ve been building our life here ever since. Growing together in a way that feels steady, exciting, and meant-to-be.

On June 19, 2025, Conner proposed, turning an ordinary Thursday into the start of our next chapter. We’re excited to celebrate our love surrounded by the people who’ve been a part of our story from the beginning, and we can’t wait for everything that comes next!
