We met on a warm, sun-kissed day in the summer of 2007 at the Santa Barbara Waterfront. What began as a simple moment grew into a love that carried us through high school, college, and into adulthood. On June 20, 2009, we chose each other officially. Seventeen years later, on June 20, 2026 — the very day of our wedding — we will celebrate that same anniversary by making a lifelong promise to love, honor, and hold one another forever, surrounded by the family and friends who have supported our journey.
