We were introduced to each-other in high school through mutual friends. We always had an eye for each other, but life waited for the perfect moment to bring us together. That moment arrived in summer 2018, when we both ended up at the same party and made a spontaneous decision to take a late-night trip to Santa Barbara. One adventure was all it took, and we have been inseparable ever since. Our relationship has been a mix of deep love and endless laughter. We grew into best friends and true partners, building a life filled with dreams, support, and the kind of comfort that only comes from finding your person. Together we have experienced so much: becoming parents, creating a home with our baby girl Violet, our sweet dog Milo, and holding the memory of our beloved Nova close to our hearts. When people ask us about our favorite moment together, it’s impossible to choose just one. Our story is made up of countless fun, funny, and meaningful memories—inside jokes, late-night talks, road trips, and small everyday moments that somehow mean everything. On October 10, 2024, during a trip to Hawaii, Matthew got down on one knee and proposed at the botanical gardens. Surrounded by the most beautiful views, and a whole lot of happy tears. We were on cloud nine, knowing we had just stepped into a new chapter. But life had one more beautiful surprise waiting for us. When we came home, we found out we were expecting our baby girl a moment that brought its own kind of overwhelming, unforgettable joy. It felt like the universe was reminding us that our love story was always meant to grow into something even bigger than us. Our love has always been tender and playful, built on years of friendship, laughter, and growing up together. And now, eight years later, with our daughter in our arms and forever in front of us, we’re ready to walk into this next chapter as husband and wife stronger, closer, and more in love than ever.
