Our story began in September 2014, when our mutual friend Sebastian introduced us. It was just our second month of college, and what started as a casual fling quickly turned into something much more. Over the years, we both graduated from San Francisco State and moved in together—starting our careers and bouncing around from Santa Clara, to San Jose, and eventually settling in Sacramento. Along the way, we added two very important (and very fluffy) members to our family: our COVID puppies, Doug and Maggie. In February 2025, after nearly a decade together, Ben planned a surprise trip to San Francisco—with the dogs in tow. On a beautiful, nude beach, he got down on one knee and proposed. We wrapped up the perfect day by sharing a Tony’s pizza in the park. This next chapter has been a long time coming, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate it with the people who mean the most to us. Thank you for being part of our journey and for all the love and support you’ve shown us along the way. With Love, T + B
