It all began on Veteran’s Day weekend in 2016 at UCSD when a mutual friend, Austin, introduced us. What started as a casual meet-up quickly turned into an unforgettable day— spending hours at the beach, sneaking into a hot tub, and staying up late talking. We clicked instantly, and from that moment on, our story began.

A few months later, in March 2017, we took an incredible trip to Mexico with all of our friends. Somewhere between the adventures and laughter, we knew this was something special, and it became official—we were a couple. From there, our journey together only grew stronger.

Since then, we've built a life filled with adventure, milestones, and love. We graduated from UCSD together in 2018, both pursued graduate school, and created memories through countless snowboarding trips —one of our favorite things to do together. In 2022, we moved in together, making our home even more complete when we adopted our sweet cat, Cleo.

Then, in 2024, on top of Keystone Mountain, during yet another incredible snowboarding trip, David got down on one knee. In the midst of fresh snow and breathtaking views, he asked the easiest question of all—and of course, I said yes! It was a moment straight out of a dream, one that perfectly captured our love for adventure and each other.

Trying to sum up eight amazing years together into one story is nearly impossible, but if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that this is just the beginning. We are so excited to start this next chapter and can’t wait to celebrate our wedding day surrounded by the friends and family who have been a part of our journey.
