“There is no limit to the power of loving.” –John Morton

What excites you most about marrying each other?

What excites us most would have to be knowing that we forever have each other as a constant companion through whatever life throws our way, for better or for worse. We truly bring out the best in each other, and can’t wait to see how marriage will bring us even closer. Not to mention, babies and starting a family of our own! ☺

When did you know he was the one?

Our relationship was long distance for nearly two years until we became engaged and I moved to Vancouver, Washington. I don’t think I can pin point a specific time, but after my first trip to see him, I couldn’t stay away. When I wasn’t with him, he was all I could think about. My life felt like it revolved around the next time I got to be with him, and even from 1,000 miles away, it was the best feeling in the world. Not to mention the way he looked at me. I’m pretty sure he had me hooked the very first week we spent together ☺.

When did you know that she was the one?

I knew she was the one when I fell in love with her so quickly. She allowed me to open up my feelings towards her like I never had with anyone else. I can be my complete self and she supports me in everything I do. I got super lucky.

The story of how you two met:

I came to visit my girlfriend from college, who lived here in Portland, and Phillip happened to be her boyfriend’s good friend. He reached out to me almost a year later and convinced me to make the trip back up to Portland to see if our long phone conversations and text messaging was worth continuing. It’s still a bit surreal that we made our long-distance relationship work, but in hind-site, I believe it also made us even stronger. We can get through anything after getting through that!

What is your favorite thing about him?

I could pick more than one for sure, but I would have to say the way he makes me feel. He s sincere and genuine, and I know without a doubt, that he will love me and support me forever.

What is your favorite thing about her?

This is a tough one. I love so many things about her. But my favorite thing about her is how much I know she loves me and would do anything for me. She is always so caring and thoughtful and always puts me first.
