Diana Best and Howard Keener, Jr. met via the “running world” as they are both marathon maniacs.

When Howard relocated to Seattle, Washington, they ran into each other at a Chamber of Commerce mixer.

With Covid-19 and finish lines being put on hold, their relationship grew and their new finish line became a life they wanted to share together as husband and wife.

When they aren't signing up for their next race, they are kayaking, biking, and camping. A very laid back, active couple that truly appreciate the time they have to spend with each other. 

On August 9th of 2020, Howard proposed to Diana in their home and the proposal was filled with lots of emotion. The two decided to plan the wedding on the beautiful island of Key West, Florida. 

The couple shared an emotional First Look and photos around the beautiful island. Afterwards the two exchanged vows oceanside in front of friends and family. Guests enjoyed some wonderful cake and champagne. As the boats sailed by, the couple enjoyed their first moments of being husband and wife.  A delicious dinner reception followed at the historically beautiful First Flight. 

Congratulations to you and your families!
