Morgan and Miles met at a party on a summer evening in Berkeley, just before their senior year of college. Morgan was saying goodbye to her friends when Miles walked into the room. Something about him caught her attention, and she decided to stay a little longer. They found each other and were lost in conversation in no time.
They talked about art, travel, music, and school, and then their time together was cut short by friends eager to leave for the night. They didn't exchange numbers, but Morgan found Miles on Facebook a few days later and mustered the courage to reach out. To a shared delight, Miles asked her out. She said "Absolutely."
Their first date was at Dolores Park in San Francisco. They enjoyed a picnic with cheap beer and spent the evening eating Spanish tapas, sharing laughter and stories until the day slipped away. Date after date, summer turned to autumn. When school started again, they realized they didn't want to say goodbye.
Miles surprised Morgan at the Morcom Rose Garden. On December 21, Morgan went on an early morning walk with their friend Nicki to the Morcom Rose Garden. Morgan spotted Miles from far away and quickly tried to figure out why he was there and up so early. Miles walked over, got down on one knee, played their favorite song "The Muse" by the Wood Brothers, and asked Morgan to marry him. Tears of joy followed and of course, she said "Yes!"
Special thanks to their friends Nicki and Trevor for helping make this moment unforgettable.
