Parker and Hailey’s story began in February 2019 when their best friends decided to play matchmakers. While they were both in college, they met up with mutual friends before heading to an island-themed party at UC Davis. Parker lent Hailey a Hawaiian shirt for the party, and the two teamed up as beer pong partners (though they didn’t exactly win). Parker even showcased his dance moves on the frat house floor. From the very beginning, being together felt natural.

Not long after they met, Parker asked Hailey on their first date to Burgers & Brew in Davis, CA. Both were so nervous and so wrapped up in conversation that they barely touched their burgers! But from that day forward, they were inseparable. Loving each other has been the easiest thing either of them has ever done.

Their journey together has been filled with incredible adventures. Their first shared home was in San Francisco, where they spent two amazing years living next to the cable car tracks and soaking up the city’s charm. In 2023, they tackled their biggest adventure yet: hiking over 1,500 miles while backpacking the Pacific Crest Trail and the Oregon Coast Trail. Every step of the way brought them closer together.

On March 30, 2024, Parker made their five-year anniversary truly unforgettable. They were celebrating in Banff, Alberta, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of Lake Louise. Despite the frigid 15°F weather, with towering mountain peaks in the background, Parker got down on one knee and asked Hailey to marry him. It was the easiest “yes” of her life.

Now, Parker and Hailey are happily settled in a cozy home in Saint Helena, CA, just two miles from where they’ll say “I do.” They couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this next chapter with all their loved ones and officially merge their families. Thank you for being part of their story!
