We are so excited to celebrate with you!

Jesse here! This is the one task I’ve been given for the wedding lol so here we go! I met Ashley at UCLA during the Spring of 2013. We shared mutual friends but never met until a Fraternity/Sorority event. We instantly hit it off & for the rest of the quarter we were inseparable. I finally mustered up the courage to make it official on 10/2/2013. For the rest of our time at UCLA we went to countless events, football games & had the time of our lives. After we graduated, we moved to San Francisco. Over the last 6 years, we’ve really enjoyed supporting one another and seeing our professional careers grow. We love hanging with our friends, going on weekend adventures, & frequently heading down south to visit our families. In February of 2020, we moved in together. Little did we know that shortly after the whole world would shutdown. We went from partial time together to 100%+ time together. Working, eating, exercising & sleeping in the same 1 bedroom apartment with no washer/dryer, I might add. Almost 2 years later we are going stronger than ever. Our favorite thing to do is travel around the world & explore new places. Our favorite trips so far have been Italy, Greece, & Hong Kong. In total, we’ve been lucky enough to go to 14 countries & have a long list of places we can't wait to see. I always knew Ashley was the one but after almost 8 years together, it was time to make it official. In late June, I piggybacked off a weekend Napa trip Ashley had planned. If you know Ashley, she’s next to impossible to surprise. But on June 26th, 2021, at Viader Winery, I pulled it off & surprised Ashley during our tour proposing to her in the vineyards. As you probably know by now, she said yes! 2022 is a big year for us! Come March, we will be moving back down to LA. We are excited to be back home but it’s a bittersweet goodbye to our SF chapter. Most importantly our wedding is in September & we cannot wait to celebrate with you all!
