How we met

Our story’s got a few plot twists. We first met in 2016, but the timing was... wildly inconvenient (I was just diving headfirst into a cancer diagnosis—would not recommend). Needless to say, romance took a rain check. Fast forward five years, we bumped into each other again—this time, no medical emergencies—and the rest is history. Turns out, timing really is everything.

After we bumped into each other, it took him a solid week to finally reach out (bold move, right?). Looking back, he’s pretty lucky I said yes to our second first date. But hey, it all worked out—and now he gets to hear me remind him of that forever.

The Proposal

Lukas was determined to catch Jacqueline completely off guard—so he stuck to his usual bit: “Getting married is stupid.” Naturally, she didn’t suspect a thing.

Before they jetted off to Europe, he secretly asked her parents for their blessing and packed the ring away like a pro. He carried it around for two weeks, waiting for just the right moment.

That moment came while they were hiking in Zakopane. Jacqueline casually said, “This would be a great spot for a photo,” and Lukas knew—this was it. The only problem? He couldn’t remember which pocket of the backpack the ring was in. Cue some awkward fumbling.

Eventually, he found it, got down on one knee, and popped the question. Jacqueline was completely shocked… and after a long pause (for dramatic effect, obviously), she said yes.

We immediately pulled out our trusty flask and toasted to our next chapter—mountaintop, misty views, and all.

We took off on a motorcycle trip across the U.S.—just the two of us, the open road, and a lot of gas station snacks. Somewhere between the winding roads and late-night laughs, I knew—she was the one.
