Tell us a little about you and your beloved: We met at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. We were both on the Cal Poly lacrosse team, Nate was on the boys team and I was on the girls team. Nate surprised me over the 4th of July weekend when he proposed on the top of Mount Tallac, off of South shore in Lake Tahoe. The planning went well, thanks to the help of my Mom who functioned as a wedding planner.

What was the most amazing part of your day? The best part of our wedding was being surrounded by all the most important people to us. We felt extremely loved and fortunate to have such a great community be part of such a huge milestone in our lives.
