Our journey began in the vibrant city of San Francisco, where we swiped right on a dating app and instantly connected. Our first date took place in the middle of COVID, but that didn’t stop us from creating a memorable experience. We met for a picnic at Lafayette Park, where Marianne immediately fell in love...with Sam, Oliver's dog. When Marianne finally noticed Oliver, we got to know each other while enjoying the fresh air through our N-95 masks. Our relationship blossomed despite the challenges of the pandemic's restrictions, and in one unforgettable moment, Oliver said "I love you" for the first time on his Potrero Hill rooftop. Marianne responded exactly how Oliver had hoped: with a heartfelt "ditto". Since then, our time together has helped us grow in ways we never could have imagined. Marianne learned how to express her feelings in a more thoughtful way, while Oliver learned how to speak Mandarin fluently. Traveling has also played a huge role in shaping our relationship. Whether it's exploring night markets in Taiwan, sightseeing across Europe, or embracing the freedom of digital nomading while working remotely, each experience brought us closer together. In February 2024, we took a big leap and moved to New York, excited to dive into a new adventure together. In May of the same year, Oliver proposed to Marianne atop a rooftop in Brooklyn, bringing us full circle to how our love story began. We’re thrilled to take this next step in our lives together and can’t wait to celebrate this special day with all of you! Thank you for being part of our story.
