Susanna & Tim
Oct. 26, 2024
Mill Valley, California
Our Story
Susanna and Tim met in August 2019 the old-fashioned way: at a local bar via a mutual friend. Despite vowing to focus on their final year of grad school rather than romance, they each realized they had met someone worth changing plans for. Their relationship strengthened as they traded fierce independence for unwavering partnership.
​
In 2021, they packed up their dogs and plants to drive from Chapel Hill to San Francisco. Living in North Beach for two years, they made close friends, explored career paths, ate fantastic food… and realized living near the city might be a better fit than living in the city. Settling into the quiet beauty of Mill Valley, they began planning for future adventures.
​
The couple got engaged on August 30th, 2023. Using his 35th birthday as a cover, Tim convinced Susanna to take the day off to hike Mount Tam. On a ledge overlooking the Bay, Tim used a poem he'd written to pop the question. Susanna said yes, and the two have been celebrating ever since.
