Hi!! I'm marrying the love of my life on August 31st 2019. It will be an outdoor wedding in the mountains (God-willing). I am a mechanical engineer and he is an electrical engineering student (graduating in May, yay!). We met in an intro to electronic circuits class and the rest is history.

Happily married 🎉
