Helen & Richard

Our Story

How We Met

Some connections take the long way around.

We grew up on the same streets, walked the same high school halls, and found ourselves at the same business school — never quite meeting. No shared classes, no mutual friends. Just two people unknowingly moving through the same spaces for years, somehow always a step out of reach. Then, about a year ago, our paths finally crossed.

There is something poetic in having been so close for so long, just waiting for the right moment.

The Proposal

On a hike at Sea Ranch, with the Pacific beside us, Richard asked. No audience, no production — just the two of us, outdoors and in motion, the way we love to be. She said yes.
