Bobby and Emma met in 2018 thanks to the cutting edge technology on a dating app called Hinge. Per his local friend Tommy's advice, Bobby invited Emma to Taco Tuesday at The Brigantine in Del Mar, a restaurant he claimed to be a regular at but had secretly never heard of.

While Emma and Bobby fought for a table in the "open seating" side of The Brigantine, Emma fielded questions from an old lady (our table competition) about where she grew up, went to school, and did for work. Bobby was frustrated that all of his material was getting burned up before they sat down, but was happy when they finally sat down and the conversation came naturally.

For the 7 years that followed, Bobby and Emma spent time living and working in North County San Diego. They've enjoyed camping and backpacking with new and old friends, playing beach volleyball (more Bobby than Emma), becoming regulars at local taco shops, and mastering the art of the perfect at-home latte. Between grueling commutes and intimidating career changes, they've been there for each other with a smile and a laugh through it all. In recent years, Bobby and Emma have made amazing memories with their families in southern California ever since the Wieners moved to Oceanside and Emma's siblings brought our amazing nieces and nephews into the world.

In the midst of Emma's career change to become a middle school teacher, Bobby _____.

Emma was flattered when her sister Amanda texted her that she scored a free getaway weekend at a nice resort but couldn't use the stay for an upcoming weekend. She took Amanda up on her offer and was ready to celebrate finishing up her teaching credential program. Little did she know, Amanda and Bobby were planning the ultimate surprise!

On Mother's Day weekend 2025, Bobby and Emma headed up to Ranchos Palos Verdes for a relaxing weekend stay at Terranea Resort. Emma got off of work early that Friday and rushed home so they could start their road trip. She relaxed the whole way there, reading on her Kindle like the true passenger princess she is.
