We met at our first job out of college at a company called Lending Club. We matched on bumble but never connected until we saw each other at a work happy hour! We were close friends for several years until we reconnected in 2019, and started dating. We took a chance and moved into our San Francisco apartment in 2020 right before the covid lockdown. Our relationship progressed and we grew stronger as we lived and worked together from home. We added to our little family in 2021, when we welcomed home our Australian Shepard puppy-Wallace, who brings us so much joy. In December 2022, Garrett proposed in a place very special to us- Newport Beach. We were surrounded by family and friends as we celebrated at the beach. Katherine's grandfather- Peter Gunn (who was 96 at the time) was able to join the celebration before his passing two weeks later.
