We met while we were both in graduate school at UC Berkeley. Despite working and studying near each other, it took a dating app, Coffee Meets Bagel, for us to actually meet. Between our busy grad school schedules, we only went on one date a month for our first three months together, but knew we had something worth the wait. After the semester ended, our dates became more frequent (even though we now had to cross the SF Bay Bridge to see each other) and found a shared love of hiking, beer, cooking and Harry Potter! In the years since, we've enjoyed many adventures together: traveling near and far, getting to know each other's families, surviving a pandemic while living and working in a one bedroom apartment, and welcoming our puppy, Simcoe, into our lives. We can't wait to see what our next chapter holds and to celebrate our love with all of you!
