How it began
A borrowed umbrella on Valencia Street
It was pouring in San Francisco in the autumn of 2019. Daniel was holding the door of a tiny bookshop; Amara had no umbrella and a stack of library books. He offered his, she promised to return it, and it took three dinners before she finally did.
Six years, two apartments and one very opinionated rescue dog later, Daniel proposed on a quiet morning hike above Glen Ellen — the same valley where we will say our vows. We cannot imagine celebrating anywhere else, or with anyone else but you.
