Our Wedding

Marian and Aaron’s story began at San Francisco State University, where fate placed them on the waitlist for the same Friday 310 film class. When they both made it in the class, Aaron sat right behind Marian, and a friendship quickly blossomed—one filled with laughter, late-night projects, and shared creativity. But on Aaron’s birthday, everything changed. In the glow of a photo booth, with film strips capturing the moment, they confessed their feelings and discovered they were meant to be more than friends.

M&A the beginning

Aaron whisked Marian away for a San Francisco adventure, stopping at some of their favorite spots—including Golden Gate Park for rollerskating, of course! At sunset he led her down to Land’s End, pulled out a handwritten note, and dropped to one knee. When he asked her to marry him, she said yes!

What to wear

Semi-Formal | Suits & Boots

Wedding-ready — polished, romantic, and ranch-appropriate.We invite you to dress semi-formal with a subtle western touch. Think tailored suits, dress shirts, elegant dresses, and boots.Please no jeans or overly casual attire. Our celebration takes place outdoors on a ranch, so we recommend footwear suitable for uneven ground — cowboy boots, dress boots, wedges, or block/wide heels are perfect. Thin heels may be tricky.
