Our Story

We met on a dating app in Spring 2017 and had our first date at Maneki (pictured above) in June where we discovered our shared passions and values, a deep love for food and cooking, and laughed a lot together. We had our first kiss that night and never looked back.

From then on, we’ve explored different parts of the world together, attended music festivals, raised our dog Bao Bao, bought our first home, cooked and hosted a number of dinner parties, picked up old and new hobbies like pottery and golf, supported each other through the ebbs and flows of our career, and regularly challenged each other to reflect and grow.

We're so excited to continue to build a life together and to celebrate with our loved ones!
