Our Wedding

We met in February of 2021 and have been inseparable ever since! Our story technically started on Bumble, but I like to say it started at Ike's, where we went on our first date. Garrett and I are always up for a new adventure whether that's staying home with our kitty, Prince, a day trip to Santa Cruz, or traveling the world together. Throughout the years we have built a beautiful life together and can not wait to start this new chapter of our journey. As one of our favorite shared authors, Brandon Sanderson, wrote "journey before destination" and there is no one else we'd rather be on this journey with.
