Phil & Mary

Hello, friends!

Welcome to our humble wedding site!

Almost everything is "coming soon" because there's just not much here yet. Thanks for your patience!

The story

We crossed paths in early 2024, when Phil overcame inertia and emailed Mary about starting violin lessons for at least a couple of his kids.

... four months later, Phil went to a Santa Paula String Ensemble concert that Mary had put on, which rekindled his desire to have music in his home:

From: Phil
  To: Mary

I'm sorry to have dropped the ball back in January, but the recent string ensemble concert put the idea firmly back into my head.

Mary began teaching Phil and his kids violin shortly thereafter.

A little later, Mary appeared in Phil's CatholicMatch saved search. He messaged her that same day, and the rest, as they say, is history.
