From high school friends at 14 to an adventure-obsessed duo making the most of our twenties, our story has been over a decade in the making. After years of being “just” friends (with a sprinkle of romance here and there), we reconnected in 2020 back in our hometown. What started as casual lunches quickly turned into date nights, weekend getaways, and international vacations.Since then, it’s been one adventure after another: traveling to 14 countries (half of them during a South American sabbatical), living in the middle of Sonoma wine country where we definitely drank more wine than we should admit, and now exploring San Francisco’s endless live music scene.
Pat proposed on December 7th, 2024 amongst big cyprus trees along the Mendocino coast. It was such a special moment next to the Pacific Ocean, a place that holds a soft spot in both of our hearts.
We’ve loved calling Northern California home these past few years, and we can’t wait to share it with YOU as we OFFICIALLY move from the friend-zone to the end-zone.With Love,MK & Pat / Mary Kate & Patrick / (Soon to be) The Klingensmith’s
