Our Love Story

We met as fifteen-year-olds at a mutual friend’s birthday party. Just two high school kids who had no idea that one night would lead to a lifetime together. We started dating on December 4th, 2012, and nine years later, on December 5th, 2021, we got engaged. On our wedding day we will be celebrating 13 years together! We’ve grown up together, learning who we were and who we wanted to become. We made long-distance work during college. We appreciated every minute we got to spend together even more and always counted down the days until we could see each other again. Since then, we’ve faced life’s challenges, moved in together, enjoyed the little things, explored San Francisco, the city that holds pieces of our love! Now we’re starting a new chapter as parents, and as partners for life. Our love continues to grow. We’ve gone from two teenagers to creating a family and starting this next chapter surrounded by the people we love most. We can’t wait to celebrate with you! To forever and ever.
