Seven years ago, we met in college through close friends — a moment that felt completely unexpected and instantly easy. What began as a simple conversation quickly turned into hours of laughter, and before we knew it, everything just clicked. Two days later, we were on our first date at Sugoi Sushi in Corvallis. Despite the awkward first date nerves, that date confirmed what we already felt: being together was effortless and fun. From the very beginning, it was the comfort of being fully ourselves with one another that made our connection feel natural. Over the years, we’ve shared life’s ups and downs, growing side by side and always showing up for each other. Today, we’re excited for all that’s ahead — building a future together, starting a family, days on the golf course, hiking new trails, skiing in the winter, trying new recipes, and continuing to grow together through each chapter of life. We’re so grateful to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people we love most. Thank you for being part of our story.
