Our Story

8 Years of Growing Up Together

Over the last 8 years, we’ve shared countless memories, adventures, and milestones as we've grown up together through high school, college, and into adulthood. As 16-year-olds, we never could've imagined how much we would come to shape each other's lives and the people we would become. We're so excited to celebrate our wedding with you all near the Redondo Beach Breakwall, a place very special to us as the site of our first date, proposal, and countless days spent there surfing, fishing, swimming, and playing with Peaches. Thank you for helping us celebrate before we move on to our next chapter: moving out to Phoenix, Arizona this summer where Marissa will be starting medical school at Mayo Clinic!
