I like Tyler and Ruth. Not only are they personable, thoughtful, and earnest, but there’s a spark there…some creativity and delight under the surface, which I really enjoy.

When Nick called us from Arkansas, to say that he wanted to propose to his girlfriend Rachel in the Portland area, we were excited to help him plan it. We helped him select...
