Like all modern love stories, we swiped right on Hinge on November 22nd, 2021. After matching, we spent our first 2 weeks texting, FaceTiming and watching Netflix remotely while Rachel was out of town. When she returned, we had our first in-person date—a relaxed evening with wine, a movie, and lots of conversation. We had so much fun, we followed the night with two more dates the same week, culminating with our first concert together (the first of many that Noam would drag Rachel to). Our first few months would set the scene for our relationship and love story, leading to many special adventures together - the first of which was a Valentine's Day road trip to Monterey and Carmel. In the coming years, we became more and more ingrained in each other's lives: we moved in together, traveled across the globe, and adopted a new kitty, Mai Tai. We also learned to appreciate each other's interests - going to see movies in theaters, trying different cuisines, attending way too many concerts, and hiking or playing pickleball with family. Even in the most contentious of moments (like when the Giants and Dodgers are battling it out during baseball season), we’ve learned to celebrate our unique perspectives and passions. Overtime, Rachel sparked Noam's love for Taiwanese food, game nights, and the beloved TV show, Friends. Noam taught Rachel the art of emo pop-punk music, margaritas, and how to "enjoy" scary movies. As we enter this new chapter in our lives, we're so excited to continue making incredible memories with our close friends and family on our wedding weekend. We're so thankful to have you in our lives and can't wait to see where this new adventure takes us!
