It all began in the snowy corners of Potsdam, New York, at Clarkson University.

Logan was pursuing his MBA, and Rachael was just starting her freshman year. It didn’t take long for their paths to cross—and something just clicked. Their first official date? Tacos, of course. A little local spot called Hot Tamale set the stage for the beginning of a love story neither of them expected, but both quickly embraced.

That first year, Rachael and Logan spent as much time together as possible—sharing study breaks, late-night talks, and early signs of something real. When Logan graduated, a new adventure took him to Florida to work with the U.S. Olympic Women's Ice Hockey Team. Though distance entered the picture, their connection stayed strong. Through frequent visits and phone calls, they kept writing their story across state lines.

Rachael finished her degree in psychology at Clarkson, then made the move to join Logan in State College, Pennsylvania, where he had begun working at Penn State. They lived together for a year, building a home and a rhythm they both cherished.

Then, Rachael followed her dream to become a Physical Therapist and began her next academic chapter at the University of Florida. While there, she adopted the world's most adorable cat, Calyx—known lovingly as Cal. From that day forward, Cal became a key part of the family, joining every road trip back and forth to Pennsylvania like the loyal sidekick he is.

After completing her degree, Rachael returned to State College, and we were finally together again—no more long-distance, no more goodbyes at airports.

From Hot Tamale to hockey rinks, college towns to Gator country, we've built a life full of love, adventure, and unwavering support. Now, we can't wait to start this next chapter—together forever.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. We’re so excited to share this next chapter with you.

With love,

Rachael, Logan & Cal
