How we got here

Meet the couple

Joseph is a restaurant-supply engineer who has never once left a coffee shop without learning the barista’s name. He still insists the best pizza in San Francisco is the one he burned on their third date.

Anna is a pediatric nurse with a gift for turning bad Mondays into good stories. She plans every trip, forgets every umbrella, and has never lost an argument about which trail to hike.

Together they have hiked half of Marin, burned at least four lasagnas, and adopted one very opinionated beagle named Biscuit.

With love, Joseph & Anna

Autumn 2019

Anna grabbed the last oat-milk latte at a Mission District café. Joseph, next in line, offered to trade for a cinnamon roll. Three hours and zero finished coffees later, they had each other’s numbers.

Summer 2022

A shelter beagle with one floppy ear picked both of them at the same time. Within a month, long weekends meant Stinson Beach walks, and shared keys came without a single speech.

Spring 2026

As fog rolled over the Golden Gate, Joseph pulled a ring from his raincoat pocket, forgot his entire rehearsed speech, and asked anyway. Anna said yes before he finished.
