Our Wedding

Our first photo together

Where many love stories begin, these two swiped right! Travis and Megan matched on Hinge (their profiles below). The two bonded over discussing which action series Megan should watch on a flight to London (The answer: Mission Impossible) and Travis planned the date! Which leads us to… February 23, 2024 they met in person at Finney’s Crafthouse in Burbank, California for their first date. Megan recalls Travis high-fived her for mentioning she preferred NCAA football over the NFL in the first five minutes. They talked about all of the things over guava margaritas. Travis remembers thinking he talked too much on the first date - which thrilled Megan as she is the self-described “chatty one”. After an hour, Megan cut to the chase and said, “Well I think this is going well, I’d be curious if you’d like to do this again sometime?” To which a slightly startled Travis replied “Well yes it is, I was going to ask you later for a second date, but yes! That’s why I got a second drink!” From here on out their relationship has always been “cards on the table” honest. They quickly bonded over Harry Potter, board games, and their love for each of their families. But it wasn’t long before each of their biggest passions were revealed to each other. Travis introduced Megan to The Oregon Ducks, and they made it to two games at the Rose Bowl. Jacob and Anthony joined them for both, bringing smoked brisket each time. Megan introduced Travis to Disneyland for the first time, and even convinced him to get an annual pass after the Tucker-Graham family Disneyland trip! Now the two of them compete to see who gets to sit with Sawyer on rides. The two moved in together and things just got better. The book collection is huge; the game collection, even larger. There is now a second wooden bear in the house (ask the Reders for the story!) They got AMC passes together and have made fun date nights going to movies during the week to see all the new flicks. And when not going out, the two of them binge all their favorite shows: The Four Seasons, Brooklyn 99, How I Met Your Mother, and many others. Travis and Megan travel often, and nearly every weekend this past summer. Travis joined the Tuckers in Hawaii and in the trailer camping at Huntington Lake, Megan and Carol flew up to cheer Travis on during his marathon in San Francisco, and cheered him on again during his half Ironman in Santa Cruz (with a whole bunch of other family joining as well!) And on the rare occasion when the two aren’t traveling together, they always make the long drive to LAX to pick the other up from the airport. Naturally the two talked about getting married and their future life together, but Travis was faced with quite the conundrum; how would he surprise Megan? To those who know her, she is incredibly organized and knows everything. So how would Travis pull off popping the question?! Travis and Megan were in San Luis Obispo with their parents for the weekend and had various plans to explore breweries, the downtown area and new restaurants. Before dinner one night, Travis got more dressed up than usual and Megan followed his lead. When they were meant to go to dinner, instead Travis took Megan on a drive, ultimately to Spooner Cove lookout point, what would be the scenic backdrop for this romantic gesture.&nbsp; Travis led Megan to the ideal viewpoint, took both her hands, said some kind words and got down on one knee to ask the question. Megan said yes!&nbsp; Hidden in the bushes were surprise guests Anthony and Brielle documenting the whole thing. Here is their photo credit for all the images you’ve seen (and yes, they’re available for hire). They celebrated with friends and family that weekend, happily in love and excited about the next step in their relationship. This is just the beginning of our story. We are so grateful to all of you for the love and support over the years. We can’t wait to celebrate this next step with you all soon!

From Hinge to Hitched!

You've made it this far... here's our dating profile photos

Our Story

Photos

Cissy and Megan met in college when they were the only ones to show up to a group lunch; they've been showing up for reach other ever since! Megan was a maid of honor in Cissy's wedding in 2022 and the two enjoy a frequent walk and talk to catch up between LA and SF!

Cissy Hu

Jacob and Travis met during Travis’ senior year at Oregon, where the two were interns together in the athletic department. They quickly bonded over their love of Bay Area sports, and a lifelong friendship began. It’s likely that any day the two of them spend together will be filled with at least a dozen “Sco Ducks!” followed not long after by “Let’s Go!”

Jacob Mendelson

Leah and Megan met at a sorority party in college where they both wanted to impress each other; now they brag about each other! These two make great travel companions with trips to Ireland, Disney and many National Parks! 

Leah Black-Hurley

Anthony and Megan were living together when Travis came into the picture. They met and quickly bonded over a game of Catan and their love for college football. The two even ran a half marathon together in Santa Barbara in 2024, and are planning their next race together.

Anthony Tucker

Ally and Megan were in the same sorority family in college and are now part of each others' LA family! These two catch up over margaritas and book exchanges while also reminiscing about perfect New England fall seasons.

Alessandra McKay

Travis and Calvin have so many similar interests and hobbies that they could almost be twins. Growing up, the two of them spent hours playing Pokemon and building Legos together. While they still enjoy Legos, they now prefer to build puzzles and play card games together.

Calvin Reder

Asia and Megan met in college through all these other knuckleheads and their friendship has only grown stronger over the years from Boston visits to long commute phone calls!  Catch these two over a drink for a hot take and always a grand time!

Asia Yip

Another Duck! Stephen and Travis met at Oregon, and they lived together for two years in LA after they both graduated. These two have been on plenty of trips together: Vegas weekends, climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, and a few bachelor parties. You don’t want to know how many Domino’s Pizzas these two have ordered together.

Stephen Tong

Friends since high school, Erica and Megan were captains of the cheer and dance team. Both busy bodies, the two are always on the go but have made time from across the country for years now! Their families have spent many a holiday and camping trip together which means mother-daughter facetimes with Carol and Lisa are also included in this friendship!

Erica Jones

Even another Duck! Tristan and Travis met at Oregon (really seeing a theme here), and they lived in LA with Stephen after graduating. It was Tristan who introduced Travis to the beauty of Santa Barbara, and they have spent many a weekends downing boots at Biergarten there.

Tristan Bloomer

Megan's cousin Kaylan and partner in planning! Can you tell we are related?! These two organize many a Disney and camping trip for the Tucker and Graham crew! 

Kaylan Graham

Chris and Travis lived together for two years starting in 2019, and together with Stephen they enjoyed exploring different parts of the LA nightlife until Covid hit. They drank almost nothing but sparkling water after that thanks to a prank from their good friend, Tyrell. Ask Travis for the sparkling water throne photo - it’s a classic!

Chris Benwitt

Stella Bella! We can't wait for you all to see this star shine. Always smiling, Stella is a social butterfly. 
Fun Fact: Stella's dad, Matt, was the ring bearer in Megan's parents' wedding!

Stella Graham

Sawyer enjoys sleepovers at Megan and Travis's, riding rides at Disneyland together, and talking Pokemon & Legos with Travis. Fun Fact: Sawyer's mom, Kaylan, was the flower girl in Megan's parents' wedding!
