🎙️ Ep. 7 How We Knew We Were “The One”: Engaged in 3 Months
How do you really know someone is “the one”? In this episode of The Couples Edition, we’re sharing how we went from FaceTime calls to engaged in 3 months — and what gave us the confidence to commit that fast.
We walk through the exact moment we each knew, the intentional steps we took to safeguard our decision, and the conversations every couple should have before getting engaged. From family reactions to dealbreakers that would’ve stopped us in our tracks, we’re giving a behind-the-scenes look at our fast-tracked love story — and why we have no regrets.
