Our Wedding

Like a lot of modern love stories, ours started with a swipe. We met on Coffee Meets Bagel almost six years ago, and what started as a few casual messages quickly turned into something real. From our first conversations, it just felt right—easy, fun, and full of potential. Since then, life has been one big adventure. We’ve traveled many places, shared plenty of laughs and memorable experiences, and somewhere along the way, brought Zilker into our lives. After spending some time together in Dallas, we made a big move to Houston and started a new chapter together, bought a home filled with love, dog hair, and takeout nights on the couch. And now, we’re here—getting married in our favorite place, Palm Springs. Having our favorite people around us means everything, and we’re so thankful to share this moment with you. Thanks for being part of our journey. We’re just getting started.
