It all started with a swipe.

We met on Hinge and had our first date at Roth SocialHouse in Turlock. What was meant to be a simple night out quickly turned into something more. From the beginning, there was a feeling that this was different, and it didn’t take long for us to realize what we were building was something real.

What started as a first date quickly became a partnership rooted in balance, friendship, and a deep sense of knowing we had found something special in each other. Somewhere along the way, we became not only partners, but best friends. The kind that makes everyday life feel a little fuller and a lot more meaningful.

Today, we’ve built a life together in Hilmar, spending our days growing our careers, making memories with friends and family, traveling, and trying new restaurants, with our dog Posey always close by.

Kristian proposed in one of our favorite places, Aptos, surrounded by family. It was an easy “yes” and one of our favorite memories together.

Lodi holds a special place in our story. If Kristian hadn’t moved there, our paths may have never crossed. Since then, it’s been the backdrop for so many meaningful moments, which makes it the perfect place to celebrate this next chapter with all of you.

We can’t wait to have you there, because to us, this isn’t just a wedding. It’s a chance to bring together the people we love most and celebrate the life we’re building together.
