It all began in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area in 2011, where the worlds of dance and technology unexpectedly collided. Mallory, a contemporary dancer with a love for expressing herself through movement, and Levi, a computer engineer with a passion for solving complex problems, met at the San Mateo Fair for their first date. From the moment they started talking, their connection was effortless—Levi was captivated by Mallory’s creative spirit, while Mallory was drawn to Levi’s intellect and sense of humor.

For the next six years, they built a life together in San Francisco, balancing Mallory’s demanding performance schedule with Levi’s work in tech. Mallory joined the dance company Anna and the Annadroids, a futuristic dance company, and Levi’s career thrived in the bustling tech world of the Bay as a product manager. Together, they explored the city, from burritos in the Mission, to fireworks at Fisherman's Wharf. They were a perfect blend of creativity and logic, passion and stability.

In 2017, life took an unexpected turn. Levi received an exciting opportunity to purchase a house in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio, and after much thought, decided to make the move. Mallory stayed in California to finish out her season with the Annadroids, but their love never wavered despite the distance. In 2018, after the final curtain call on her time in California, Mallory joined Levi in Ohio, and they continued building their life together.

In 2021, they decided to make things official and tied the knot at Trauma surrounded by a small group of close friends and family. While it was a beautiful day, they always knew they wanted to celebrate with a larger ceremony when the time was right.

Now, after three years of growing, moving, and loving together, they are excited to finally celebrate their love with all of you. The journey has been one filled with adventure, patience, and unwavering commitment. This time, they’re ready to gather all of their loved ones to mark the next chapter of their story—the one they always envisioned.
