“When he finally asked me to be his girlfriend, I knew I was in it for the long haul!”

WHEN AND WHERE DID YOU MEET?
We met in 2015 as freshmen in high school!

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FIRST DATE!
We went to the movies to see Wonder Woman!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO TOGETHER?
We both love good espresso! We have been going to as many coffee shops as possible, and ranking all of our favorites. We also are collecting Starbucks coffee mugs from all the cities/states we visit— so far we have over 50!

WHEN DID YOU KNOW HE/SHE WAS THE ONE?
He will say when we first met, and I have to agree. We both were really good friends first which built the foundation for our relationship.
Even as friends, I realized I wanted to share as much time with him as I could. When he finally asked me to be his girlfriend, I knew I was in it for the long haul! 

HOW DID HE PROPOSE?
We both LOVE Pittsburgh. One day, he told me to get dressed up for a dinner he had planned there. He drove us to Mount Washington to the lookout spot where you can see the entire city. Next thing I know, he got down on one knee and proposed! It was beautiful!

WHEN YOU THINK OF YOUR WEDDING DAY, WHAT DO YOU ENVISION? WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR YOU?
We both love a fun atmosphere, celebrating with all of our friends and family. The most important thing for us is being able to fully take in the moment and celebrate our special day.

WHY THE WILLOW?
Tristan is currently a student at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. We constantly fly out of the Johnstown airport and always pass by The Willow. Each time we pass it, we always talk about how beautiful it is and how it would be perfect for our reception.
Now, instead of driving past and dropping him off at the airport, we will be able to celebrate the beginning of our lives together and no more long distances!

Wedding Date: June 26, 2027
