Jackie moved to California in the fall of 2014 to live among the redwoods. Neil was a mentor naturalist at San Mateo Outdoor Education, and he thought Jackie was pretty cute and quirky. After some camping trips, motorcycle rides, and burritos on the beach, we became quite the pair in February of 2015. With time, we declared one another life partners, and Neil decided to propose after an awe-inspiring solo trip in August of 2020. We are so grateful to our friends and family who have shared in our celebration of marriage.
