Question

Why are you getting married in San Diego?

Answer

We live here! We fell in love in Jackson WY, but it's here at home in San Diego where our lives together have blossomed. Richard has called San Diego home since 2021, and Rachel moved to San Diego for Richard in 2024. We both still travel a lot for work and pleasure, and for our special day we wanted to be at home :) we're honored you're traveling to spend it with us!
