In the fall of 2021, our mutual friend Hinge introduced us. A few playful messages later, we had our first date on a Wednesday night. We had so much fun that we met up again two days later. That's right - Austin got Simeng to stay out past 9 pm twice in one week!

Over the last few years, we've navigated new jobs, cat parenthood, and 3 different moves. We've inspired each other, challenged each other, and come home to each other. Now that we've finally agreed on the thermostat temperature (and how to change it without the other noticing), we are so excited to begin our next chapter together.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. To the many who knew us before we knew each other, thank you for helping shape the person who we love today. To our friends who met us after, thank you for being part of our shared memories. And to our families, thank you for a lifetime of showing us how to love and be loved. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

With love,

Simeng & Austin
