how it happened
Us
It started with a wrong turn and a shared map — and became a whole life pointed toward the same horizon.
The First Date
We meant to get one coffee. Four hours later the café was closing around us and neither of us had touched the second cup. Everett walked Margot home the long way, just to make the evening last.

The Question
Golden hour, a quiet bend of the Snake River, the Tetons going pink behind us. Everett had rehearsed a speech for weeks and forgot every word of it. Margot said yes before he found them — of course she did.

Now
And here we are — bringing everyone we love back to the valley that started it all. Whatever comes next, we'll take it the way we take everything: together, and grinning at our luck.
and here we are
