Our Wedding

After finding each other's profile&nbsp;on the dating app Bumble (really though, who isn't dating on apps these days?), Ben and Sarah met for drinks, a Warriors game, and&nbsp;trivia night&nbsp;at a neighborhood bar&nbsp;- and the rest is simply history.&nbsp;

After bonding over their shared love of sports, food, friends, family, and wine, they quickly moved in together and started their love story. A few vacations to Santa Monica and Charleston later and it was clear they were meant to be.&nbsp;

Then on July 7, 2017, with the sun setting and the Golden Gate Bridge as&nbsp; a backdrop, they agreed to spend the rest of their lives together.&nbsp;

Two Swipes, One Love...

Our Story

Ben and Darren have known each other their entire lives, as their moms have been friends for many years! After moving to Danville for high school, Ben and Darren became fast friends and ended up living together in the dorms, joining the same fraternity, and currently live across the street from each other.&nbsp;

Darren Kalb

After meeting in the SDSU dorms on Move-In Day, Ben and Gaines soon discovered their many&nbsp;shared tastes and interests, including music and their major, political science. They joined the same fraternity and that foundation led to a lifelong friendship and countless trips to visit each other in San Francisco and San Diego.

Taylor Gaines

Ben and Chris&nbsp;met after joining the same fraternity at SDSU. But it was after college, when they both moved back to the Bay Area, that they became such good&nbsp;friends. From long summer days in San Francisco to numerous trips to L.A. and Las Vegas, their many shared experiences&nbsp;&nbsp;keep them close.&nbsp;

Chris Hendrickson

Ben and Bret met in 8th grade and have been consistently close friends ever since. Their shared love of sports (though inability to agree on much about them) helped grow their friendship into what it is today. Between multiple moves between San Francisco and Southern California, they have never lost touch and remain extremely tight.&nbsp;

Bret Fischer

Sarah's best friend - and also fellow bride!&nbsp;After almost 20 years of friendship, they are now sharing in the wedding planning process. Taking this journey together is a dream come true and something they'll be able to remember forever. Their shared interests in fitness, shopping, and of course wine are the perfect foundation for a lifelong friendship - and a perfect Maid of Honor!&nbsp;

Caitlin Carrozzi

Another fellow Ortega Middle School&nbsp;Dolphin and amazing&nbsp;lifelong &nbsp;friend,&nbsp;Ashley and Sarah have gone through anything and everything a friendship can handle - and have come out stronger than ever! After being honored to stand by Ashley's side on her special day two summers ago, Sarah knew she was the perfect person to join her wedding squad. And now as a new dog mom, Sarah is lucky to have Ash as a great resource&nbsp;to call on for advice, tips, and puppy playdates!&nbsp;

Ashley Lobao

Michelle joined the group freshmen year, and her and Sarah have been close ever since! From their matching outfits on&nbsp;their first high school dance, to standing next to each other at Michelle's beautiful wedding in 2015. As the&nbsp;wonderful&nbsp;new mom to our sweet flower girl, Michelle's kind and generous spirit makes for the perfect&nbsp;bridesmaid!&nbsp;

Michelle Stahl

The star of the show! Sweet Savannah Christine has only been in our lives for a short time, but has already brought so much joy and happiness to us all!&nbsp;We could think of no better tiny lady to share in this experience.&nbsp;Her huge&nbsp;personality and perfect smile will be an amazing&nbsp;addition to the most special day in our life.&nbsp;

Savannah Stahl

The Reichlmayr family dog, and one the best K9s we know!&nbsp;She's a huge part of our life, and though her official wedding role is still TBD, her presence in our lives is something we could never imagine being without!&nbsp;

Gucci Reichlmayr

Ben and Anthony became friends after joining the same fraternity and became even closer after both moving to San Francisco. Their shared passion for the 49ers and Warriors has led to endless game-watching and a strong friendship. Anthony's signature warmth and wit are just some of the reasons Sarah and Ben asked him to officiate their wedding.&nbsp;
