We met on a dating app in February 2018. On our first date, we stayed so long that we closed down the wine bar! On our fifth date, we went thrifting and got pedicures. We went on many hikes and a 3-week road trip in our first 6 months. We knew if we could make it through a half-run down a mountain thick with mosquitos, we could make it through anything!

While Michael worked in San Francisco and Oakland, Hanna finished up medical school. We got to know and love each other's family and friends over the best food. We visited all of California's National Parks in one year!

Hanna matched at UCSD for ObGyn residency, so we packed up and moved to SD! Soon after, we welcomed Louie, a COVID pup who knows no alternative to having one stay-at-home parent and one who wants to cuddle during every hour off work. We live in a lovely bungalow with a little garden where we grow tomatoes, native flowers, and bonsai.

Michael popped the question in the middle of one of San Diego's iconic walking suspension bridges. He pretended to tie his laceless shoe until Hanna was very confused! We are so excited to get married and can't wait to welcome you to San Diego to celebrate with us.
