we're getting married

We met in the dorms at San Jose State University in 2009. Emily’s first impression of Alex was an interesting one, as he had long hair and a ‘tough’ exterior. After saying hello to each other in the stairwell a few times along with the help from Emily’s roommate, we gradually became friends. This friendship blossomed as time went on and we both knew there was something special to hold onto. It didn’t hurt that Alex cut his long locks before trying out for the SJSU baseball team and Emily was totally into it. A magnetic connection formed over waffle dates in the dining commons, biking around downtown and exploring the city together. We started dating in 2010 and the rest is history!

We live in a cute little cottage in downtown Campbell where we both enjoy cooking new recipes, walking to the farmers market on Sundays, and tending to our garden in the backyard. We're currently growing our summer garden of tomatoes, basil, zucchini, cucumbers, bell peppers, and pumpkins! Both of us are total home bodies and prefer a date night in (equipped with takeout, wine, and Netflix) rather than going out—although we do enjoy a nice cocktail downtown every now and then. Alex is a Wildlife Biologist and loves to go fishing and Emily is a Graphic Designer who loves yoga and baking. We are members at a few wineries in the area and enjoy going wine tasting with friends. We are also both passionate about living a healthy and sustainable lifestyle which includes our virtual at-home workouts and healthy recipes.
