We met while working at Catholic Charities as case managers for unhoused individuals in our community. I noticed his striking blue eyes and kind soul. He noticed my laugh and smile. As we became friends we realized we shared the same beliefs, values, and life goals. We started dating and the rest is history.

Phillip planned a beautiful proposal with the help of my best friend Rachael. The plan was to go wine tasting at Reis Ranch Winery in Petaluma. The proposal happened in a totally private area of the ranch under beautiful trees. Rachael captured the special moment. A picnic table was adorned with white lace and a dozen red roses. We celebrated with a wine tasting and a tour of the beautiful property.
