A little bit about us

Georgia boy meets California girl. Our lives began over 2,000 miles apart, but the world in all of its serendipity has brought us to the most important moment of our lives, together. In many ways our story is just beginning, but we cherish the chapters we’ve written so far and can't wait to celebrate them with all of you! We found each other through mutual friends while at UCLA. The two of us would often run into each other studying at the library on campus or at parties somewhere between Strathmore Drive and Midvale Avenue, slowly but surely realizing that we were crazy about each other. What started in college grew and matured as we both figured out life in Los Angeles, a city that opened our eyes to adulthood as we figured it out socially, professionally, but most importantly, as a team. The post-Westwood years placed us in different but nearby neighborhoods that felt even closer thanks to mutual friends and plenty of things to do and places to explore. Anyone who knows us can usually expect to find us hanging out at our favorite restaurants and breweries, checking out as many concerts as possible, and frequently running around with (or after) our red-haired rascal of a pup, Indie. Life in Southern California has also drawn us to San Diego, a town that we have fallen in love with together. It was the first destination the two of us traveled to as a couple and since then has come to mean so many things to us over the years. Every time we visit we always manage to create memories that keep us coming back. We have wandered its streets, beaches, and parks, scarfed down tacos and California burritos, and clinked plenty of pints of beer. Stone was one of the first breweries we came to know in San Diego, and because of that we think it's the perfect place to celebrate our marriage with our family and friends. See y’all this June!
