Our Story

Welcome to our wedding website! We are so excited to share our story and celebrate this next chapter with you. Our journey began at a 2022 backyard party in Santa Cruz, where Steph was living at the time. In a twist of fate, we both nearly skipped the party entirely—Justin even showed up late—but we are so glad we didn’t. We were the very last ones to leave, having stayed to play video games with the hosts. Before the night ended, Justin’s "big move" to get Steph’s number was, after an extensive tutorial on how to retrieve them herself, offering to send her screenshots of the Jackbox games they had been playing all night. At the time, Justin had just moved back to Northern California from Irvine and was living in Mountain View. He spent many weekends driving across the mountains to Santa Cruz until we eventually moved into our first place together in Sunnyvale. From there, our adventures took us across the country to Connecticut. After nearly a year of searching, we found our home in Manchester, Connecticut, where we live with our two fluffy cats, Lilith Purrsephone and Lil Miss Triceratops. Our biggest milestone yet happened at the Mystic Aquarium during a penguin encounter. There, in the company of a penguin named Purple Gray, we got engaged! We can't wait to head back to Mystic to say "I do" and celebrate with all of you. WEDDING WEBSITE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS PLEASE CHECK BACK - MORE INFO TO COME!
