Andrew and I met in Spring 2019 after matching on a dating app. Our first date was at Son of Wolf in Palo Alto, CA. I was immediately infatuated with this genuine, hilarious, compassionate, artistic man. We both took things slow with the intention of building something together long term. Over time it was clear that our families and communities were a great fit and love continued to multiply. We got engaged in 2021, thrilled to plan our lives together. In 2021 I was also diagnosed with stage 2a triple negative breast cancer. It was not what we were hoping to be focusing on at the time but we came together to fight. Andrew's family embraced me fully without hesitation, becoming the greatest support I could imagine. Andrew wasted no time stepping in as my caregiver and moving me into his home. I completed surgery, chemotherapy and radiation in 2021 and briefly had a stage of "remission". In May of 2022, unfortunately, the cancer returned and I am currently diagnosed as stage 4 with metastasis in my lungs, lymph nodes and brain. Once again, without hesitation, Andrew and his family are caring for me full time. They are giving me the most love and best support I could imagine and I feel so blessed to be joining this family. Due to the incredible speed and unexpected changes through this process, our wedding planning has been complicated. We are so thrilled for you all to join us in our celebration. Thank you for your patience with us and for all of your support!
