We are so excited to share with you this romantic Hartley Botanica Somis wedding of Meghan and Darren!
their adorable love story
Darren and Meghan first met on her track & field recruiting visit to Bucknell University in the winter of 2008. Darren invited her out with the track team, where they spent the whole night talking and dancing. Five months later when Meghan first arrived at Bucknell, they picked right up where they left off! When Darren graduated in 2009, he got a job in southern Pennsylvania and continued to visit Meghan at Bucknell every weekend the next three years. After Meghan graduated in 2012, they moved across country to California so Meghan could pursue her graduate degree in physics.
In August 2015, nearly seven years after they began dating, they took a vacation to the island of Maui with Darren’s family. On a hot afternoon hike through an old lava field that ended on a black and white sand beach, Darren popped the question. Meghan was completely surprised!
