M & B 2023

We met through psych class at San Jose State University, and with a little help of a dating app, we got each other's contact information. It wasn't until two years later, with the help of a photo of a dislocated shoulder from snowboarding and my childhood dog Ricky, that Max and I reconnected. The rest is history!

To start off, I woke up early to make Max some breakfast, which he was stunned walking into the kitchen to find eggs and bacon already prepared. He tried to play it cool and reminded me that he had made reservations for breakfast. I wasn't feeling too good at the time, so he suggested we go on a walk before we get food. Lo and behold, he took me to Montalvo Art Center, where my aunt got married. Once he navigated us to the gated garden, he reached into the marble angel fountain and pulled out a book with a story he had written for me. I opened the book to find the ring falling out. He smoothly dropped to one knee, catching the ring, and proposed to me. 1 year later, and here we are! We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our love story with you all. See you in Gilroy!
