Both native to the Bay Area and avid fans of the local Philz Coffee, our first date was at Philz and we hit it off so well that we decided to take a little stroll to Vasona Park and then a ride on the choo-choo train. While sipping our coffee and both clearly feeling the chemistry we actually got chided by the train police for having a drink on board and being very cuddly! Long story short, before our first date ended Stephen asked me on our second date. We continued to share some laughs and joy over one of our favorite meals and activities: pizza! Passionate about nature and up for a challenge, we drove up to Yosemite and chatted about life, culture, relationships, technology, our spot on taste for similar music… little did we know that we needed to enjoy that long drive because we were going to embark on one epic hike in Yosemite! We both considered ourselves to be relatively in shape but it was proven to be an outstandingly challenging hike in the depths of the summer Yosemite heat and yet we survived because we had each other! Fast-forward through months filled with laughter and lots of love we then dipped our toes into the crisp waters of a place very dear to our hearts, Cabo - where we got engaged! We’re so very excited to celebrate our union with you on July 15, 2022. With love, R&S
