Our Wedding

They met how they have met most of their friends in life: through swimming. They were in the same class at Cal, so started their college journey together as freshmen. Both being on the team, they were surrounded by the same friends and were together all of the time. From teammates, to friends, to best friends, to dating, it sounds like a simple story, but for him it was a waiting game. He would tell you he knew from the start, eagerly waiting for her to get past her friendship phase, and she would tell you "we were just best friends." Although all of their friends knew along with him, it took her a while to realize. Come the fall of 2018, after a few failed attempts to get her on an official date, she agreed, and the rest is history. After spending 4 years of college together, building their relationship, their friendships, and their life, they moved in together in 2021 and found themselves with two crazy puppies who they couldn't live without. One of the things they share in common is their love for gathering their friends and family and being around those they cherish. With that said, they can't wait to see you and celebrate all together in Napa!
