When we first met in December 2023, neither of us had any idea how much that night would change our lives. It was supposed to be just a fun dinner and game night with friends who set us up; nothing more, nothing planned, nothing expected. But from the moment we started talking, something felt easy. Familiar in a way that didn’t make sense yet. We made each other laugh and knew it was a great start.

What began as a simple introduction quickly grew into a friendship that felt like it had been waiting for us. By early 2024, that friendship had turned into dating, and suddenly the world felt a little brighter, a little more exciting, and a lot more full of possibility.

2024 became our year of adventure. We spent countless hours in the car, driving up and down the East Coast, visiting family, seeing friends, discovering new places, and learning each other’s quirks and rhythms. Those long drives became some of our favorite memories — the playlists, the conversations, the quiet moments while Erik was sleeping (lol) and the laughter that filled the car.

And then came our sweet dog Halle, in April 2024; the funniest, most chaotic little addition to our growing family. She brought joy, energy, and a whole new layer of love into our lives. With her, everything felt even more like home.
Somewhere between the road trips, the shared weekends, the ordinary days, and the unexpected moments, we started to realize something big: this wasn’t just a great relationship. This felt like forever.

2025 only confirmed that. It was a year full of weddings, celebrations, and watching other couples say “I do,” all while our own love deepened in the most natural way. Erik moved in, and suddenly the everyday things like cooking dinner together, lots of Yahtzee, lazy mornings, shared routines, became the moments we cherished most. We fell more in love not because of grand gestures, but because of the steady, joyful way we fit together.

Then came April 2026, the moment that changed everything. We got engaged!!! Emotional, overwhelming, perfect in all the ways that matter. Since then, we’ve been living in this beautiful mix of excitement, planning, dreaming, and soaking in the fact that we get to spend the rest of our lives together.

Now, as we look ahead to 2027, our hearts are full. We cannot wait to celebrate with the people who have supported us, laughed with us, traveled with us, and loved us through every chapter so far. This isn’t just a wedding, it’s the beginning of the life we’ve been building from the moment we met.

So, Cheers to the future Kellers — to love, to laughter, and to forever.
