It all began with a modern twist of fate—Tinder. When Rachel listed boxing as one of her interests, it immediately caught Steve’s eye, given his background in mixed martial arts and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Although Rachel’s experience with boxing was amateur, their shared passion for the sport sparked a conversation that would change their lives.

For their first date, they met at Mac McGee’s in Roswell, GA, where the connection was instant. As they got to know each other, they realized they had even more in common. Steve, a chiropractor, and Rachel, an ER nurse, bonded over their shared experiences in the medical field and their passion for helping others. They also discovered a mutual love for 311 and dogs. Later, Rachel met and quickly fell in love with Steves Weimaraner, Jackson. As their dates continued and their bond deepened, it became clear—they were meant to be together.

In a beautiful full-circle moment, Steve proposed to Rachel at the very place where they had their first date—Mac McGee’s. It was the perfect way to honor their journey and the love they had built together.

Above all, they both believed in the importance of patience and waiting for the right person to share their lives with. Now, as they look toward their future, Steve and Rachel couldn’t be more excited to continue growing together. They can’t wait to celebrate with you as they begin this next chapter of their lives!
