Corona Virus Update

2020

Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, we are regretfully canceling our postponement. We hope we can see you when it's safe for a future celebration!

How We Met

September 2017

After no success the "old-fasioned" way, Dennis and Karen both found themselves on an app called Coffee Meets Bagel. She stumbled across his profile, and though she couldn't tell exactly what he looked like, recognized his photo was from Disneyland. That's all it took for her to feel comfortable messaging him! He eagerly met her after a month of messaging at Jack's Bar and Grill at the local mall. After hours of talking and laughing, the rest is history...

Our Story

Adventurers

Dennis and Karen enjoy traveling more than anything. Throughout their relationship, they would take frequent trips to Disneyland, Carmel, Yosemite, Las Vegas, and Europe. Each time they return, they're already planning their next route!

The Proposal

June 2019

Karen had wanted to climb Half Dome for years, and Dennis was brave enough to attempt the difficult hike with her. After a 3 AM wake-up alarm, the pair were on the road into Yosemite National Park. They made it to the top at noon, after 7 hours of difficult climbing. After resting on the top for an hour, Karen began packing up her belongings to begin the long trek home. Little did she know, Dennis was not ready to leave yet! He quietly took out the ring box from the bottom of his backpack, got down on one knee, and cleared his throat. It took Karen 0.2 seconds to ask "ARE YOU SERIOUS?" He asked her to marry him, and she happily agreed.
