I met Hannah in Birmingham in the fall of 2020. After graduating from UCLA the summer prior, I joined a program called Venture for America which brought me from California to Alabama to work for a early-stage startup, Landing. I started in August and soon after Hannah joined.

Hannah and I quickly began spending time together; first in groups, but then one-on-one. Under the guise of 'working late', we'd stay at the office for hours sharing stories, cracking jokes, and learning more about one another over pizza and spreadsheets.

By February 2022, Hannah and I's relationship had grown from a casual work friendship into a human resources nightmare (ie dating). We made our relationship official by submitting a "Consensual Relationship Agreement" to our HR team ... *spicy*... and have been together ever since.

From international trips to weekends on the couch with our puppy (Bru), Hannah and I have begun creating memories, deepening our relationship, and building our life together. I could not be more excited to be marrying my best friend next March.

I met Will in 2020 at work and we were just acquaintances for about 6 months. I began hanging out with maid-of-honor Maryn (the social chair of our office) and she invited me to a few dinners & such. After a few casual hangouts in a group I was feeling more and more drawn to Will and didn't know what to do with that. Thankfully my friends are bolder than I am, and bridesmaid Lindsay convinced me just to ask him to hang out. What was the worst that could happen? I reached out, we grabbed a drink, and honestly have spent very few days apart since then!

It hasn't always been easy, but knowing and loving Will is the greatest joy of my life. I am constantly impressed by Will's character, drive, and enthusiasm. We have so many wonderful adventures together and I can't wait for our greatest one yet...marriage!
