It all started at Rachel’s first apartment in San Diego in 2022—a place that quickly became more than just a home. We met as neighbors, in a courtyard that often felt like our own little Central Perk. Surrounded by good friends, sunshine, and spontaneous hangouts, we built a foundation of friendship in true Friends fashion. Our love story wasn’t rushed—it grew slowly, over building a desk, late-night chats, and those small everyday moments, like running errands at Target, that sneak up on you and start to mean everything. And then, like all the best things in life, it picked up speed. In 2023, we welcomed our beautiful baby boy, Nico, into the world. Becoming parents has been the greatest joy of our lives, and nothing makes us happier than spending time as a family—just the three of us and our puppy, Basil, who never misses a chance for an adventure (or a nap on the ottoman). In September 2025, we got engaged—surrounded by love and more excited than ever for what’s to come. We can’t wait to celebrate our wedding in Mazatlan, Mexico November 2026 with the people who have been part of our journey—and to begin this next chapter of life, love, and family—together!
