It all started in 2016 when a mutual friend decided to play matchmaker for a fraternity formal. Honestly, bless her, because that one blind date set off a chain of events nobody could have predicted.

From the very beginning, Juan Antonio and Jaimie were the definition of "complicated logistics." That first summer apart had Juan Antonio in Spain and Jaimie in Hawaii, separated by roughly 7,000 miles and some truly heroic time zone math. Somehow, it worked. When they finally landed back in Birmingham that fall, they made up for lost time by becoming completely, shamelessly inseparable.

They decided early on that their relationship would be an adventure. Thailand was just the beginning of a long list of places they've explored together — proof that the couple who travels together, stays together.

Seven years, countless stamps in their passports, and one very good dog named Summit later, Juan Antonio took Jaimie back to a quiet spot in the North Alabama woods, the same waterfalls where they'd camped in college and quietly started falling for each other. No audience, no fanfare. Just the two of them, outdoors, and a yes that had been a long time coming.

Now they're planning the next great adventure. And this time, you're invited.
