Aakriti and Chris first met when she interviewed him for a job. It was 9 in the morning and only thing Aakriti was interested in was her coffee. But over the next few months, they got to know each other, and after Chris’ constant pursuits, they finally went on a date and never looked back. On a…

Kim and Joir-dan met in high school, but it was not love at first sight. They annoyed each other and then became friends before they finally started dating in college. They lived all over the United States and spent much of their relationship long-distance from each other. Almost eight years later, they got engaged. We…
All throughout Friday and up until the morning of the wedding, dark clouds doused the area with a hearty bout of rain– much-needed for the drought-ridden state of California, but much-dreaded for Rebecca and Dave’s dreams of a wedding on the beach. We were all ready to be good sports about it all. The wedding would be perfect,…

It took two years of friendship before they began dating, but once they did, everything came together perfectly. And one day on a pier just behind Coqueta restaurant in…
For a long time, Lazy Bear was an underground pop-up, delighting diners who were in the know with their communal dinner parties. In the last few weeks, it went from underground to brick and mortar. Reservations were of course a scramble, compounded by the fact that they went with Alinea’s ticketing system (nonrefundable, like concert tickets)….
They first met at business school in Philadelphia, where they founded a startup together, and they later moved to California, the land of startups, where Jenny joined the team at Pebble and Adam joined Google.

But the thing that finally pushed me to buy a ferry ticket was hearing about a new art installation that just opened on the island: Ai…
