We both attended Colgate (Charlie '12 and Tara '13) but we didn't start dating until after college in 2018. We re-connected at the magical engagement party of Oie (Tara's cousin) and George (Charlie's close friend). Tara was living in NYC at the time and Charlie was in LA. We dated long distance for a year and then Tara decided to make the move to the west coast. After living in LA together for a couple years, Charlie proposed on 2.4.22 at a very special place for the Carey family - the Manhattan Beach Pier! We are so excited to get married in one of our favorite places - Santa Barbara! We took our first road trip together up the Pacific Coast Highway in January 2019 and our first stop was Santa Barbara. We can't wait to celebrate with you all on March 25th, 2023!
