It all started at the wave pool.
Back in 2011, Hanna landed a job at the front desk of Splash Wave Pool — and pretty quickly noticed a cute blonde, blue-eyed lifeguard working some of the same shifts. Turns out, the feeling was mutual. Owen kept showing up to work a little early just to hang out with her!
Over the next few months, they became good friends, both secretly crushing hard. Then, at a Thanksgiving weekend party, Owen finally got brave enough to ask Hanna out…and even snuck in a goodnight kiss.
From that first date on, it was game over — in the best way. For the past 14 years, they’ve been by each other’s side through every adventure, cheering each other on and growing together into the people they are today.
It was always clear they’d found their forever, and in January 2024, they made it official. Now they’re beyond excited to celebrate with all their favorite people as they kick off the next chapter of their story!
