We first met in early 2020, just before the world slowed down. Thomas had moved to Oregon for physical therapy school at Pacific University and Izzy was busy working for the Portland Trail Blazers. Thanks to Thomas messaging Izzy on Hinge, and a little nudge from Izzy’s friends, the two went out for drinks and the rest was history.

Over the years, our lives have grown together in Portland, the city where Izzy grew up and Thomas has come to call home. Thomas graduated in 2022 with his doctorate in physical therapy, while Izzy has continued to pursue her passion for event planning. When we’re not working, you can usually find us traveling, golfing, wine-tasting, attending country concerts or spending time with friends and family. Some of our favorite memories have been made on adventures together, from weekends exploring Oregon with family and friends, visiting Carlsbad, to trips across Europe. We can’t wait to add our wedding in Tuscany to that list!

On June 28, 2026, we’ll be celebrating our marriage in Italy surrounded by our closest loved ones and we couldn’t feel more grateful and excited to share such a special place and moment with all of you.
