We're getting married!

If you know anything about the two of us, you know our lives have taken us all over the world (literally). Going a million miles a minute, we have each lived anywhere from the Caribbean to NYC as we juggled work, school and trying to squeeze in time with family. Finally our crazy lives came together in August, 2016 on a random sushi date. Both of us were pleasantly surprised at how much fun we had and how natural it all seemed, we immediately clicked. Meeting someone else who had also been to so many places and done so many things, kinda made our crazy lives finally feel a little less... crazy. We just had an understanding and true appreciation for each other. We found ourselves enjoying all of the same things and cherishing our time together. Everything seemed to have suddenly slowed down... like it was all just meant to be.

Our engagement story starts with our engagement ring. We looked a long time for a ring that was just right. Finally we picked one out back in Todd's home town of Delphos, Ohio. I remember him taking me to the "only jeweler in town". We got in the car, drove past town, and through corn fields until we found a family home in the middle of a farm with a small office in back. I couldn't believe where I was! Right there, in the middle of a farm, we picked out our ring that was later flown out to NYC with his friend during a visit, then later stuffed deep into Todd's pocket to be flown out to California. Just a few days before Christmas, Todd surprised me on the beach as we were taking my parents dog on a walk. It was the best Christmas present I could ever have and the easiest question I could ever answer!

We look forward to celebrating with you! For those traveling long distances, we suggest looking into flights early as this is a busy time of year for traveling!
