Our Wedding

It all started in Seattle, where fate—and maybe a little caffeine—brought us together. We quickly discovered our shared love of food and travel, which became the perfect recipe for endless adventures. From tasting our way through local food trucks to planning weekend getaways, we realized that life is just better when we’re exploring it together. When we’re not daydreaming about our next vacation, you can find us goofing off and turning everyday moments into inside jokes. Our home is filled with laughter, competitive board game nights, and, of course, some good-natured trash talk. (For the record: Alice dominates at Mancala, while Richard is undefeated at Connect Four—though the jury’s still out!) We also have a shared passion for horror movies, whether it’s re-watching the classics or finding the cheesiest new scares to critique. Our latest adventure, though, has been raising a feral kitten who wandered into our backyard. He's a little wild, a lot mischievous, and somehow fits perfectly into our little family. Through it all, we’ve learned that the best part of life isn’t just discovering the next great meal or destination—it’s having someone to share it with. We’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter with all of you and can’t wait to make more memories together!
