Once upon a swipe on Hinge, Lora & Jesse unlocked the next great chapter of their love story with laughter, tiny guest lists, and one perfectly whimsical wedding day that felt as effortless as their first cocktail together at Prizefighter the night before the wedding.
Fast forward to San Francisco City Hall—where marble arches and sun-splashed halls whispered romance into every snapshot. The ceremony was classic, intimate, and absolutely magical (including the hug-worthy “finally gets to say I do” moment from Jesse). Planning wasn’t all fairy lights and florals—there were home renovations happening, a water heater heartbreak in a storm (yes, really), and some hard choices about trimming that guest list—but the payoff? Pure joy, hugs that lasted too long, and a sweetheart table just for soaking in the glow with the person you love most. And then—cue the confetti hearts— they hosted an intimate reception dinner with the people closest to them at TAROCCO, creating new memories in an intimate gathering that was both cozy and chic (don’t miss the adorable details the couple dedicated to their pups!). Still smiling about it—because when planning gets wild, love gets sweeter and every tiny detail feels so big.
We’re thrilled to feature their love story in the just released Winter/Spring 2026 issue of Real Weddings!
