Our Story

Think back to the not-quite-post-COVID haze of 2021, when venturing out in pants with a zipper felt both brave and reckless. It was during one of these early attempts to conjure memories of socializing in indoor public spaces that we first crossed paths, among a group of mutual friends at a downtown show. My brain, preoccupied with trying to regain the atrophied muscle of small talk-making, was admittedly not quite ready to tackle the complexities of flirting.

Fast forward a year of sporadic run-ins and meme exchanges, and I found myself housesitting for James's best friend. Suddenly, James began appearing under the noble guise of "helping out" with his friend's musical gear. Was it selfless? Maybe. Was it charming? Enough for me to say yes to a sushi date. The rest, as they say, is history.

10+ trips, 1 puppy, and 3 joy-filled years later, we couldn't be more excited to formally merge our lives amidst the company of our dearest friends and family.
