On August 8, 2023, two lucky people met up for an ice cream date. Max arrived early in a green golf shirt and khakis. Maya showed up in a pink top and light green skirt, which Max later described as a “pretty little watermelon.” Maya thought Max and his ginger beard looked very handsome. They clicked right away. They had fabulous conversation about work, friends, hobbies, and who knows what else because what they remember most is how easy and nice it was to be together. They stayed together that night until everything in town was closed. The next few dates were all over six hours long! Max was so smitten, he didn’t know what to do with himself. Two people who usually take their time making decisions somehow decided on each other right away. A year and a half later, on March 15, 2025, Max surprised Maya with the most beautiful proposal and a surprise engagement party. Crushed it. She happily graduated from “watermelon” to “fiancée.” And now…here you are on our wedding site! We’re so glad you’re here. Our lives are so rich and wonderful because of the people who’ve shaped us - our incredible family, friends, and community. Your love has lifted us, inspired us, and brought us here. So please, come ready to celebrate, eat well, and dance your tail off. Your favorite watermelon and ginger beard can’t wait to party with you. It’s officially celebration time, baby. 😎❤️
