We met the way all great modern love stories begin -- on Hinge. One of us made the first move (we'll let you guess who), and the rest was history! A few messages in, we realized we both work in healthcare- which means we both had excellent health insurance and were one step closer to being each other's emergency contact.

Our first date was in San Francisco (he was living in Oakland, but crossed the bridge without hesitation-- a green flag.) What was meant to be a quick drink turned into hours of conversation, laughter, and the sneaky suspicion that we'd just stumbled into something special.

And we had.

Since then, we’ve built a life full of love, long hikes, the occasional jog, and lots of travel. From the mountains of Montana to the beaches of Hawaii, the cozy chaos of Seattle, and a maple syrup sugar crash in Canada — we've done it all. We also traveled to India to spend time with Keyur’s family — an unforgettable trip full of color, warmth, and an amount of food that can only be described as “ambitious.” On a spontaneous detour to Dubai, we confirmed two things: neither of us is good at sandboarding, and Tori’s love of shopping is truly global.

At our core, we're happiest doing simple things together: walking outside, planning our next trip, drinking coffee, and laughing at things only the two of us find funny. Life with each other has felt like the greatest adventure-- and the most natural thing in the world.

Now we are so excited to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by all the people who've been part of our journey. We CANNOT wait to toast to love, laughter, and a lifetime of crossing bridges together (literal and otherwise).
