We were matched on eHarmomy back in 2010 and were instantly drawn to each other over our mutual love for sports, animals, art, and music. After several weeks of sending emails back and forth, then finally chatting over text messages and phone calls, we had our first date at John D. Morgan Park in Campbell.

We were in South Lake Tahoe for the annual SnoBall softball tournament. He had been wanting to ask her the big question all weekend, but could never find the perfect opportunity. On our way home we stopped by Emerald Bay, one of our favorite lookout spots. He had her totally surprised when he went down on one knee and popped the question. Of course the answer was yes!

Our original wedding date, and the date we eloped under the majestical redwoods at Nestldown. Due to COVID-19, capacity limits, and safety concerns, we had no other choice but to reschedule our big day. We exchanged vows in the presence of our dog, Barrett, our officiant, Jeannie, and our wonderful photographers, Lily & Chris, as our witnesses. Our wedding party was also present in the form of cardboard cutouts standing on baguettes! It was absolutely surreal to stand in the redwoods chapel looking out to an empty floor that should have been filled with all of our friends and family on that very day and at the exact time it had been planned. We can’t wait to recreate that memory but with all of you there with us, as it should have been.
