Love Stories

McKinley + Cole

Like so many modern love stories, ours started on Hinge. A few messages turned into a first date, and before long, we realized how easy and natural it felt to be together. One of the first adventures Cole introduced me to was CrossFit—something I never imagined I’d try, but it quickly became something with which we could laugh, support each other, and push through the challenges together.

Not long after, we bought a camper and began traveling around Montana with our dogs. From quiet lakes to mountain views, those trips became some of our favorite memories—just the two of us, the dogs, and the open road.

Cole’s proposal was perfectly "us": at home, on the couch, in comfy clothes, watching football on a Saturday. No grand production, just a simple and genuine moment that reflected everything about our relationship—real, easy, and filled with love.

And now, we can’t wait to start the next chapter together, surrounded by the people we love most.
