In true 21st century fashion, we met on the dating app, Bumble. Our first date was June 2022 at Strizzi's in Livermore and we shut the restaurant down. We sat and talked for hours until they finally kicked us out. We knew from that first date that there was something special between us, so the dates continued and turned into meeting family, going on our first trips and attending weddings together, celebrating Austin turning 30 and spending all of our favorite holidays with both of our families. Things happened quickly, but like they say 'when you know, you know'. It wasn't long after our first date that we realized that our aspirations, dreams and goals were perfectly aligned and the love that we had for each other was a once in a lifetime love. For months, Austin secretly planned the most thoughtful and special proposal and on April 1, 2023 (thankfully not an April Fools joke), we got engaged at Black Sands Beach in Sausalito. It was truly one of the best and most cherished days of our lives. Our proposal signified the beginning of our future together and we feel so incredibly grateful to get to spend the rest of our lives loving each other, living out our dreams, and pursuing our goals together. We can't wait to celebrate our love with you all and to truly begin our forever! <3
