Our first date was in downtown Corvallis: dinner at Koriander, gelato for dessert, and drinks at Squirrel’s (if you know Corvallis, you’ll know Squirrel’s is not exactly a common first date spot).

The proposal happened at Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. Thomas always said he would propose in another country, and kept his word!

Our wedding ceremony will be September 11, 2025 on Hanalei beach on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. Our immediate families and a handful of close friends will all be present to watch us exchange vows. We always knew we wanted to have a separate reception back home a few weeks after our ceremony so we could include all our friends and family in the celebration.
