How it all began

Our Story

Spring 2019

The First Hello

A chance conversation in a tiny coffee shop in Brooklyn that lasted until closing time.

Summer 2021

Our First Trip

Two weeks driving the Pacific Coast Highway — and knowing the road ahead was meant for two.

Winter 2023

Home Together

A small apartment, big plans, and a cat named Cosmo who chose us all on his own.

Fall 2025

The Proposal

Under a sky full of stars, no need for many words — just the only answer that mattered: yes.
