Our Story
Every love story is beautiful, but ours is our favorite
Our Journey
The milestones that led us here

How We Met
It was a rainy Sunday afternoon when we first crossed paths at a coffee shop in the Mission District. Michael was struggling with a crossword puzzle, and Sarah couldn't resist helping with '17 across.' That simple interaction turned into hours of conversation, and we've been inseparable ever since.

The First Date
Our first official date was a picnic in Dolores Park. Michael packed his 'famous' (his words, not ours) sandwiches, and Sarah brought homemade brownies. We watched the sunset and talked until the stars came out. It was magic.

Moving In Together
After a year of dating, we decided to take the big step and move in together. Our tiny apartment was filled with mismatched furniture and way too many houseplants, but it was perfect because it was ours.

The Proposal
Michael proposed on the anniversary of our first date, in the exact spot at Dolores Park where it all began. He got down on one knee during sunset, and Sarah said yes before he could even finish the question. There may have been happy tears from both of us.
