Our Wedding

We met in February 2021 through Hinge, shortly after Tamara moved to Houston. Our first date was at Sixes and Sevens in Montrose. Between Winter Storm Uri (with the freeze and power outages), traveling in and around Texas, and spending time together - we realized we really liked each other. We made it official on April 9, 2021, at Coconut Club in Austin. Since then, we've traveled across the U.S. and around the world and even moved to Chicago together. Clif proposed to Tamara on December 31, 2024 in Roppongi Hills, in the heart of Tokyo. It’s been a great ride of experiencing life together so far—and we’re excited for what’s next!
