We met in college...

On a boulder hopping hike to Inspiration Point in the Santa Ynez Mountains near our college UCSB, we first met. It was through the invitation of our mutual friend, Win Min, that organized that fateful first outing. After many games of tennis, volleyball at the beaches, dinners, and other things always in groups of our best friends, we officially realized we were interested in each other because of another important person in our lives, Monica Hamilton.

In April, 2018, They stayed in a treehouse, The Burl, in the beautiful forests of Issaquah, Washington.

It was there that Art finally asked the big question...

In July, 2021, after the worst of the pandemic was over, a small group of vaccinated family and friends converged in Westport, CA.

They were married at Switzer Farm in a small and intimate setting...
