We met five years ago in the middle of the pandemic. It turned a crappy situation into an amazing chance to get to spend a ton of time together doing the things we love the most: hiking, biking, eating together, laughing, and talking.

Since then, we've kept building a life that feels both fun and easy. In 2022, our little crew grew: Maxi, our dog, joined the family, and Andy moved in with Tal, officially becoming a cat mom that same year. Between everyday routines and trips, we've found a rhythm where we can talk about anything and feel completely at home with each other.

Andy fell for Tal's kindness - how humble, smart, and down-to-earth he is - and her favorite part is that he always makes her laugh and feel like a kid again. Tal loves Andy's beauty inside and out and how she balances being thoughtful and intellectual with being street-smart and grounded. We also both love how well we've integrated into each other's families and traditions.

In March 2025, Tal proposed in the Marin Headlands - one of our favorite hiking and biking spots. Andy thought they were celebrating her grad school graduation with a little weekend getaway. She didn't know she was about to get engaged that day.

We're so excited to spend the rest of our lives together, and we can't wait to celebrate with all of you.
