Story Time!

Aaron and Darby met in early 2022 while working together at a local print shop. Over the course of about a year, they became friends, bonding over folding booklets, graphic design, and strange social situations with customers. Outside of work, they watched movies and attended concerts together. The stars aligned, and after a night of karaoke with friends at the Baby Ketten Club, they confessed their feelings, and later became partners.

Throughout the three years Darby and Aaron have been together, they have seen more live bands, like Pom Pom Squad, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, and Kamasi Washington. They have escaped from the city on various camping and hiking trips to the coast, Mt. Hood, and Elk Creek. They enjoy working on arts and crafts, playing board games and video games, and watching anime together.

They became engaged in February of 2025, and were married in an intimate ceremony at the St. Johns Jazz Festival that July. Today they live together in Beaverton with their two cats, Patricia and Faye.
