We're getting married!

Please join us for a reception to celebrate our upcoming marriage! We'll be hosting the celebration at Bar Vacilando in Seattle.

We went to the same college just two years apart, but didn't meet until many years later, on a handy dandy app called Hinge. On our first date, we ate sushi and went for a long ice cream walk along the Burke Gilman in Ballard in January. Little did we know it would be just the first of many more dinners out and walks to get ice cream, in every season. Since then, we've adopted a cat (Fred), moved into a very old building we call our castle, burnt down the kitchen in our very old building, supported each other through job changes, marveled at sand dunes in Oregon and Michigan, eaten a steady diet of pasta and pizza in Sicily, and gone for so many runs together in so many places. When we were in NYC at an old steakhouse on New Years Eve, Matt suggested our 2025 goal should be to get engaged. Cara very happily agreed. A few months later, Matt proposed while we were on a bike ride with Cara's sister Rachel along the Havel River in Babelsberg, flanked by old German palaces. It felt like a dream. Then we had a champagne picnic by a nearby castle then went out to dinner.
