Our story began during the pandemic in 2020, where many relationships sparked using dating apps or over FaceTime. . .

But after being introduced by a friend who saw our mutual passion for arts and politics (thanks, Alex!) our first "date" was volunteering in-person for a city council campaign in Los Angeles, where we sat at an information table in a quiet neighborhood that attracted no visitors for the whole shift. From that moment on (to quote Caroline's favorite podcast) "the rest is history!"

Those first several hours were just the beginning of the next several years of adventure: our first restaurant outing about 6 months into dating, moving in together a bit quicker than Caroline’s mom would’ve liked, becoming dog-parents to Peggy… And finally, getting engaged in New England, where we grew up only several hours away from each other, and where we'll be happily married this coming September.
