Story
The first time I saw him, we were sitting at the gate for our flight to San Diego. I remember glancing over at him and thinking, Oh, wow, he’s cute. When I got to my seat, I saw that the seat beside me was empty and thought, How awesome would it be if he ended up next to me?
He asked for my number and we went our separate ways. I was certain I would never hear from him again. I thought about him often, but eventually he faded into the ‘missed connections’ category. A few months later, out of the blue, he sent me [a message that said] ‘Happy New Year.’ We hit it off like nothing ever changed.

See Our Story!
Who made the first move? How?
He made the first move when he texted me on New Years day. A few hours later we had plans for dinner that week.
Who's going to take out the trash?
Whoever happens to be closer to the trash :)
What was your most memorable date?
We spent one of our first dates biking and then kayaking through the sea caves in San Diego. Our guide joked that a few hours in a shared kayak is enough to test any relationship—he was right! But we survived and that adventure remains one of our favorite memories.
What's your favorite activity together?
We love to paddleboard and bike in the park!
Where are you going for your honeymoon?
Anywhere with beautiful beaches! Maybe the Maldives before it goes completely underwater?
What's the best meal you have eaten together?
We treated ourselves to a five-course meal in Paris. It was magical.
What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
Last April we were able to see the Northern Lights in Norway. It was incredible!
