How it began
Our Story
From a first date by the ocean to a proposal among the pagodas — here are a few of the moments that brought us here.
Seal Beach, CA
Seal Beach is where we had our first date, talked for hours, and were most vulnerable. I knew I had found my special person after the very first meeting.
Fish Lover
Thomas is very much into aquariums and salt water fish. At one point, he owned two tanks filled with corals and fishies! Aquariums are very much sought out whenever we go on out of town adventures, and it's become one of the many things we love exploring together.
Christmas Magic
We both have a deep love for the Christmas season. Walking the neighborhoods and viewing Christmas lights are a must for every year!
First Snowboarding Trip
Christine's first time snowboarding with Thomas was filled with lots of excitement, laughter, and ended with a very sore body.
Long Distance
We spent a good quarter of our relationship in long distance. Thomas was off for tech school due to being in the military. There wasn't a day where we didn't FaceTime each other through the night.
Japanese Tea Garden · San Francisco
The Proposal
Thomas got down on one knee at the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco. It's one of the cities we visit annually and now has an even more special place in our heart for the many years to come.
On January 9, 2027, surrounded by the people we love most, we'll begin our life as husband and wife. We're so glad you'll be part of our story.
