Our love story

I'd seen Nicole in lecture. One day I answered a knock at my door & there she was, at my doorstep like a vision, the nameless girl. She was a friend of my roommate, but of course I asked her for help studying. Our relationship blossomed quickly, particularly during our UCSB relief effort in New Orleans: we cried, & laughed, too, & something changed between us. I told her I loved her shortly after. Since then we've followed each other—from SoCal to South Korea. We’ve never let each other down.

Three important details about our ultimate wedding.

1 Family & more friends. We’d love to invite around 150 people, still offering excellent food & drink, including those we had to take off the list because of $. 2 In Santa Barbara. We met at UCSB, love to surf, & enjoy other gifts that nature offers. In a public space overlooking the ocean or at a nonprofit (like a sea center). 3 Environmentally conscious. We’d like our wedding to be as green as possible, i.e. guest gifts could be donations to sustainable donations & décor can be repurposed.

Our ultimate dream home.

A quaint, environmentally conscious home, optimizing its smaller size and highly organized, creative interior spaces. A garden with plentiful vegetables and herbs. Our home would be welcoming, though minimal, and would feature all of the best for entertaining: kitchenware, dinnerware, and, of course, drinkware.
