Our paths crossed one fateful night in the living room of an old Cal Berkeley fraternity house back in Fall 2017. How romantic! We traded stories about our shared passions for family, sciences, travel, and aspirations. In true "Luke fashion," we didn't exchange our contact info, but of course our story didn't end there. By a stroke of Irish luck, we crossed paths once again a year and a half later in yet another serendipitous encounter. This time, our fate was sealed. (Okay, maybe there were a few other encounters in between that Luke might try to keep under wraps!) Anyways, our relationship blossomed over the next 4 months in Berkeley, followed by a year of long distance, while Luke finished his degree and Bridget completed a community health fellowship in Alabama. Since then, we've made our home in Los Angeles, where our love story continues to unfold. Luke proposed to Bridget on a bayside esplanade in Ireland on a sunny summer day in 2023. We are SO excited to share our day of celebration with you this coming May!
