You are invited to celebrate
New Year’s Eve with
Surprise! We're married! Nearly 10 years after we first met at Stanford, we eloped at San Francisco City Hall on December 29, 2025. It was a beautiful, intimate ceremony, exactly two years after Alec proposed to Sylvia at Torrey Pines. The days around New Year’s have become especially meaningful to us. And somehow, in a happy twist of fate, we’ve ended up making a home together in San Diego, one of our favorite places on earth. Now, we’re inviting our closest friends and family to join us here to celebrate our marriage and ring in the new year together.
Fun fact: our brother-in-law is the Chef de Cuisine at VAGA, the resort’s restaurant!
