In February 2022, Raylynn and Sorin shared countless dances together at an ecstatic dance event at Chautauqua Castle. Long before they exchanged words or even knew each other's names, they communicated through movement, energy, and dance.

They had briefly noticed one another at two previous ecstatic dances, but that evening at Chautauqua Castle, everything changed. After the dance ended, guests lingered to mingle, and Raylynn and Sorin found themselves unable to leave each other's company. What began as a simple conversation turned into two hours of chatting, laughing, and feeling an undeniable connection. Saying goodbye that night was no easy task.

From that moment on, they were inseparable. They spent the next three days together and, by the third day, had officially begun their relationship.

Just one month later, Raylynn asked Sorin to move in with her. His answer was an enthusiastic, "Absolutely!" Together, they moved into a home in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, alongside their beloved pup Ragnar and lizard Ames. Before long, they were introduced to each other's families and welcomed with open arms, fitting together like puzzle pieces no one realized had been missing.

Over the next four years, Raylynn and Sorin filled their lives with adventure. They explored nature, danced under the stars, attended festivals, embraced playfulness and silliness, and discovered joy in life's simple moments at home. Along the way, they supported one another's growth as individuals while building a relationship rooted in love, trust, and partnership.

Two years into their journey together, they purchased a home and welcomed a new puppy, Solmani, into their family. They embraced the adventures of homeownership and puppy parenthood, creating even more memories together.

Then, in February 2026, they traveled to Costa Rica. Knowing that dance had been the language that first brought them together, Sorin planned a proposal that would bring their story full circle. At an ecstatic dance, surrounded by the magic of the moment, he asked Raylynn to spend the rest of her life with him—in their favorite language: dance.

Without hesitation, Raylynn said yes.

The rest of their trip was spent celebrating the next chapter of their journey together.

If you ask either of them, they'll tell you they knew from that unforgettable night at Chautauqua Castle that their lives had become forever intertwined. Their love story has felt nothing short of a fairytale, and now they are beyond grateful to celebrate this next chapter with all of you.
