We met in March of 2017, in that liminal space between graduation and the next big leap. Miranda was deep in law school prep, and Teddy was crafting beers at a cozy brewery in Petaluma. What started as a serendipitous connection quickly grew into something undeniable, we officially started dating in May, just two days before Miranda moved 400 miles south for the summer.
Distance didn’t scare us. By fall, Miranda was back in San Francisco for law school, and our long-distance love became a medium-distance one, just an hour apart, but still full of weekend drives, late-night calls, and shared playlists.
In early 2020, we made a bold move: we decided to live together just days before the world changed. Quarantining in Teddy’s Santa Rosa apartment with our sweet cat Artemis turned out to be the best kind of unexpected gift. That little home became the backdrop for Miranda’s law school graduation, her first remote job, and countless cozy dinners and deep conversations.
In 2022, we packed up and headed south to Anaheim, chasing new dreams and slightly warmer weather. Teddy found his dream job, and we found a rhythm that felt like home.
Then, in July of 2025, Teddy proposed, and Miranda said yes, with full heart and happy tears.
Now, we’re building the next chapter together. And we can’t wait to celebrate it with you.
