Our Story

A friends-to-lovers tale . . . Peter and Renee were in the same small section as first-year law students at Berkeley. In law school at the height of the pandemic, they met as little boxes in their Zoom classes. When the lockdowns finally ended and they arrived on campus, Peter and Renee became fast friends. They shared a friend group and bonded at their classes, law school parties, camping trips, journal events, group vacations (to Hawaii, Alaska, and more), softball games, concerts, bar exam study sessions, and more.

Peter and Renee passed the bar and started their first lawyer jobs in Los Angeles. Despite working long hours at big firms, they always made time to see each other. They were best friends. And then they became more than friends. Renee invited Peter to be her +1 at a law firm event on beautiful Catalina Island. They had a great day together, they kissed, and they fell in love. It was a brat summer miracle.

They moved in together and built a small family with their dog, Indie. In early 2025, Renee began a federal court clerkship in San Diego, CA. Peter stayed in LA. Though separated by 119 miles, the distance hasn’t stopped them from spending nearly every weekend together. And, in early 2026, the couple returned to Catalina Island — where it all began — and got engaged. Renee plans to return to Los Angeles shortly before the wedding, and they will stay in LA as they start their next chapter as husband and wife.

We can’t wait to celebrate our love with our favorite people in the world! Thank you for making the trip.
