How we met
We both met through friends at work in Biotech. What started as casual conversations soon turned into something more. Our first date was a summer evening in Long Beach, the sea breeze carrying the scent of salt and warmth. We had spicy tonkatsu ramen—Ash’s first time trying it— and between the laughter and conversation, we knew it was the beginning of something special.
“There was always something very special about matt. though he was very reserved at first, i eventually saw how thoughtful, sweet, patient And goofy he is. and continues to keep me smiling.”

The Proposal
It was a misty day in San Francisco. We started the morning with a cozy Turkish breakfast in the city before heading out for a light hike across the Golden Gate Bridge. The fog hung low as we made our way down the cliff’s edge to Kirby Cove, where we found an old log overlooking the water. We sat together, enjoying the rolling waves and overlooking the city. Then, after a stroll down the beach, Matt got on one knee.
