Bev and Galen first met their freshman year at the University of Southern California. Galen was a trumpet player and Bev was a baton twirler with the USC Trojan Marching Band. While they met on the field of the Coliseum cheering on the USC football team, it was their time off the field in their weekly Chemistry 101 lab where they got to know each other. After several Arrested Development marathons, band trips to Northern California, London, and New York City, and the countless hours spent together rehearsing with the marching band, Bev and Galen started dating their senior year of college. After college, graduate school brought Bev to Chicago and Galen to Boston. After four years of long distance, Bev and Galen moved back to Southern California together. Right before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in February 2020, Galen proposed to Bev and the rest is history! We are so excited to celebrate our special day with you in April 2022.
