How We Met

2.26.16

We met on Tinder. Yep, you read that right. We had no idea that night that four months later, we'd be renting an apartment across the street from the bar we were standing in--and that three years later, we'd be engaged. The way we look at it, we basically won the lottery of love.

The Proposal

8.9.19

We were walking through Central Park at sunset. I had a hunch, but wasn't sure--until he revealed the ring and asked me in the sweetest way to be his wife. I said "yes!" and we spent the next few hours talking and calling family. Time passed so quickly that we didn't even notice it getting dark! We celebrated with a red-checkered-table-cloth dinner in Little Italy. It couldn't have been more perfect.

The Location

The Santa Ynez Valley, CA

When it came to picking a wedding destination, we immediately knew we had to get married where I grew up: the Santa Ynez Valley. As a "valley kid," it's a place that will always feel like home for me. And for him, it's a place where we fell in love, where we can be immersed in the California nature that feels like home for us both. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter with you all! See you in Santa Ynez!
