We met in 2012, introduced by friends starting a music club at our university. Both enthusiastic about music, we ended up becoming co-founders. We spent many months getting to know each other while planning events, running open mics, and passionately discussing the future of the club.

What started out as a wonderful friendship eventually evolved into more and more, until Marie got annoyed and told Tom she was getting mixed signals. (Tom thought his signals were perfectly unmixed). So, dressed in Halloween costumes (Tom a cowboy, Marie a pirate), we shared our first kiss sitting on the hood of Tom's jeep overlooking the Pacific Ocean. 

​

Since then we've spent over 10 years together, growing up and learning about life. We're so excited to make it official with all of our loved ones (and the State of Oregon) and to share this moment of our lives with you all.
