We're getting married and we want to celebrate with you! (Probably you, this site is publicly available after all.)
Because our family and friends are scattered around Australia, the United States, and wherever else people have gotten to since we last caught up, we're hosting two receptions: one in the US and one in Australia.
Please upload any photos from the receptions to these Google Photos albums:
It's been a while since we've caught up with a lot of the invitees, so if you're asking "Who are you?" about one or both of us, here's a sappy little blurb about us and our story:
Liora and Daniel met in spring 2018 on a dating app called Tinder. (Daniel enjoys making Liora cringe by referring to her as his “Tinderella.”) After exchanging messages for several weeks, they met in person at a small bar in their San Francisco neighborhood called Mini Bar. Daniel ordered a Pimm’s Cup and Liora sipped bourbon. Daniel managed to squeeze in two more dates within the next few days before leaving for a two week trip to Australia for a best mate’s bucks party and wedding (Hi Boardie!), at which Daniel served as the Best Man. During this trip, Daniel ensured Liora did not forget about him with many flirty text messages and daily phone calls. By the time he returned, Daniel had secured his place in Liora’s affections.
Fast forward to January 2020, Daniel pounced on a passing comment Liora made about hypothetically living together (when talking about furniture) and immediately began searching for apartments. They moved in together on March 2, 2020, unaware that within two weeks a global pandemic would force them to spend more time together than they’d anticipated. Fortunately, this crucible forged an even stronger connection between them and made it apparent that they make great partners in life.
For their six-year anniversary, Daniel insisted that they return to Mini Bar. He ordered a Pimm’s Cup and Liora sipped bourbon once again. Daniel got down on one knee and asked Liora, “Will you settle for me?” Liora, not really paying attention and thinking Daniel was tying his shoe or something, automatically replied, “Aren’t I already?” Daniel asked, “Is that a “yes”?” That’s when Liora noticed the ring in Daniel’s hands and asked, “What’s THAT!? Wait, is this a PROPOSAL!?” A small discussion followed during which Daniel confirmed that Liora indeed had said yes and understood that she was agreeing to marry him (she almost made him get down on one knee again so she wouldn’t miss it this time). That evening, they began planning their wedding receptions to celebrate with you lovely people.
Is there a ceremony? Can I come?
We were married at San Francisco City Hall on 5/5/25 with no guests. Because our family and friends are on both sides of the world, we didn't want to favour some over others, and we aren't big on ceremony. The two receptions are the real celebration.
Can I come to both receptions?
Yes! There is a separate RSVP form for each reception, so please fill out both.
Can I bring a gift?
Please, no gifts. We're very grateful to have you with us at our celebrations, and appreciate that many of you will be traveling to attend. If you like, you may additionally contribute to our honeymoon fund / wishing well, but it is in no way expected.
Is Liora changing her name?
No.
Is Daniel changing his name?
No.

The venue has a parking lot in front of the building and, if the lot is full, recommends using their larger overflow parking garage (free) across the street on El Camino Real (33 Arroyo Dr, entrance on El Camino Real).
It may be a better idea to park at your accommodation and take an Uber / Lyft / jetpack / whatever.
