In the unassuming surroundings of Moraga Loard’s Ice Cream, Miles and Fiona's paths converged by chance, setting the stage for a love story that would span over a decade. From middle school acquaintances to high school sweethearts, their bond grew stronger with each passing year, weathering the challenges of long-distance relationships during their college years.
As they navigated through the uncertainties of life, their shared passion for adventure brought them closer together. Whether it was backpacking through the rugged terrain of California or carving through pristine snow on ski tours, Miles and Fiona found solace and joy in the great outdoors.
Their love story extended beyond borders as they embarked on unforgettable journeys to far-flung destinations around the globe. From the snow-capped peaks of Japan to the romantic streets of Lyon, the picturesque landscapes of Croatia to the bustling streets of Mexico, Miles and Fiona immersed themselves in new cultures, cuisines, and experiences, forging memories that would last a lifetime.
Their adventures didn't end there. With a shared love for cooking, they transformed their kitchen into a culinary playground, experimenting with flavors and cuisines from around the world. Together, they discovered the joys of creating delicious meals from scratch, bonding over chopping vegetables, simmering sauces, and savoring the fruits of their labor.
Their household expanded with the addition of Cedar, an energetic Vizsla puppy whose boundless enthusiasm for life mirrored their own. Cedar became their faithful companion on countless hikes and camping trips, infusing each outing with his infectious spirit.
On April Fools' Day in 2023, Miles proposed to Fiona at the top of a ski tour on Palisades Tahoe, marking their 10th anniversary. With the snow-covered mountains as a backdrop, Miles expressed his love and commitment sincerely, and Fiona accepted with joy. Despite the date's playful nature, the moment was meaningful and unforgettable for the couple, blending their love for each other with their shared passion for the outdoors.
