From a swipe to forever...some might say it was luck. Ironically, we met at a bar called Mr. Lucky's in Walnut Creek for our first date, and after the nerves died down, we went to Dan's for some live music. Fast forward and we're both on the dance floor singing to "Shut Up and Dance With Me" by Walk the Moon. Little did he know that the lyric "this girl she's my destiny" would ring true! We spent everyday of the next two weeks together until Ryan moved to Phoenix, AZ for his new job. Together at heart yet miles apart, we continued our journey with lots of flights, FaceTime and hopes that we would one day be in the same zip code. After some time, the stars aligned and we were back in the Bay Area together.

We were in France for the first time to celebrate a friend's wedding. We spent a couple days in Paris, Annecy and Nice. The day before we were set to leave, we visited a small town in the south of France called Villefranche-sur-Mer. It was picturesque - a little beach village with pastel colored buildings and beautiful blue Mediterranean water. As we were exploring the town, Ryan suggested we take a picture, and while I thought he was rummaging through his backpack to get the selfie-stick, I instead find him on one knee! I said YES and the rest is history. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you!
