Bride’s story

Megan grew up in the small town of Morgan Hill, just south of San Jose. She loved singing, acting, art, and travel from an early age. She graduated from Live Oak High School in 2005 and went on to San Jose State to study Journalism and Graphic Design. While still in school, she started a part-time job at the Apple Store and it was there she met Kevin in 2009. In 2011, she started a new role at the App Store at Apple’s corporate offices. Now, after over 8 years at Apple, she has the company to thank for not only a fulfilling career, but also introducing her to the love of her life.

Groom’s story

Kevin grew up in San Jose, just north of the small town of Morgan Hill. He loved electronics, video games, and computers from an early age. He attended Prospect High School and went on the CCOC Fire Science and EMT program in San Jose, graduating in 2008. In 2009, he started a part-time job at the Apple Store and it was here he met Megan in 2009. After dabbling in EMT work again for a couple of years, he realized his true passion was technology. In 2013, he started a new role at Stanford University. Now, after over 3 years at Stanford, he has Apple to thank for not only making devices he has to fix on a daily basis, but also introducing him to the love of his life.

During sunrise on Christmas Day 2014 Kevin proposed to Megan in Pokhara, Nepal - a small lake town situated at the base of the the Annapurna range in the heart of the Himalayas.

The Day We Met

Kevin very deftly tries to pick up Megan at a three day training session for new Apple retail employees. After two days waiting, Megan finally asks Kevin if he'd like to ask her to lunch. "I like lunch" he said.

October 22nd

First Date

"Do you like french food?" Our first date was at Twist Bistro in downtown Campbell, CA. Kevin was just 19 and though he couldnt yet order himself a glass of wine, he had a pretty good idea of what to order for her thanks to his previous experience sampling wine with Lisa and Henrick Nielsen.

The Bridal Party

Bridesmaids

  • Colleen Kalland

    Megan first met her Maid of Honor about 28 years ago when the Hamilton’s first moved to Morgan Hill. Colleen’s mom did daycare and Megan and her brother Jon went there for years. Over the years, the girls had countless sleepovers, baked dozens of cookies, celebrated every birthday, and have been there for each other through all of life’s milestones.

    Donna Oiger

    Donna started on the App Store team in 2013 and she and Megan hit it off right away. They worked together on all the best categories of apps - shopping, lifestyle, food etc. - and spent lots of time exchanging their latest fashion indulgences. Outside of work, Donna and Megan have also bonded over their love of cats, Taylor Swift music videos, and poolside cocktails.

    Emily Black

    Emily and Megan first met through mutual friends at a party in downtown San Jose. Soon after, Emily started dating Kevin’s good friend and groomsman, Chris Bahue, so we started seeing a lot more of her! In the last year, Megan and Emily have had a dozens of girl’s nights (which Kevin always crashes), played countless rounds of Cards Against Humanity, and have become obsessed with the cat-collecting game, Neko Atsume and Lena Dunham’s show GIRLS.

    Sarah Lange

    Megan has known Sarah the longest of any of her other bridesmaids because they are cousins who were born just 1 week apart. The two called each other “twin cousins” when they were little because they looked so much alike… until Sarah hit a growth spurt leaving Megan in the dust. When they were Juniors in high school (before Pinterest was around), they ended up buying and wearing the exact same prom dress but didn’t know until after the photos were passed around at a family gathering!

    Jenny Alton

    Megan and Jenny met during high school through their smarty-pants class schedules and then became good friends through movie nights, performing in theatre, and even traveling to London. The girls both moved down to San Diego after graduation and Jenny was a huge support to Megan during her time at SDSU. Jenny later went into the Peace Corps and was assigned to Ukraine for two years. Jenny and Megan have managed to remain great friends even across vast distances and Megan is thrilled to have her back in the Bay Area. 

    Groomsman

  • Danny Stoch

    Danny and Kevin met in a fire academy in highschool. They went on to work together as ambulance partners. Whenever Kevin has been in a tough spot, Danny has always been there to help him out. This past year, Kevin met up with Danny (and Chris) during their trip to New Zealand. Danny is Kevin's Best Man.

    Chris Bahue

    Bahue The Great! Chris and Kevin have known each other since highschool. Not only does Chris have some of the fastest wits on the west coast, this bloody mary afficinado has a way of making you feel like you're the only person in the room. Chris was on a backpacking trip in New Zealand when Kevin dropped in unannounced this past April 2015. Chris is one of Kevin's most trusted friends.

    Todd Trevisan

    You never forget your first. Todd and Kevin have been friends since his mother called us together and proclaimed it one day in kindergarten. From grade school to highschool they would spend their time playing video games, going on late night scooter adventures, going to air shows (Thanks, Mr. T!) and making the perfect airplane. Todd is officiating the wedding ceremony.

    Christian Nielsen

    Christian lived right around the corner from Kevin's childhood home in San Jose, CA. They've spent countless hours watching movies (mostly Die Hard), hanging out by the pool, and playing plenty of video games. Kevin recently joined Christian and his family on a cruise down the Mexican Riviera where he gained a new appreciation for Christian's endless capacity for soft serve ice cream.

    Nick Florimonte

    Nick and Kevin also met in Highschool and saw more of each other after graduation. When they're not out at a beach in Lake Tahoe drinking a questionable amount of Piña Coladas, they're usually talking about the latest in 3D printing or microcontrollers.

    Michael Tully

    Michael is Kevin's older brother. Since they were kids, Michael has always had a way of helping Kevin to learm more about the world around him by encouragement and by example. Sort of like that time he encouraged Kevin to touch a cactus when they were in the grocery store as kids, or when they were a little older he "encouraged" Kevin to go out to the bar on his 21st birthday promising "I'll only buy you one drink" - leaving out the fine print that he would walk up to each person there and somehow convince them to all buy shots for Kevin. He technically did just buy one drink... There's no better friend than a brother and Kevin is lucky to have Michael by his side.

    Jon Hamilton

    The first few times Jon and Kevin met, they didnt really have much time to talk. They were at big family events like christmas parties, family reunions, and busy hollidays. Over the years, they've had more and more time to get to know each other and Kevin has learned that it can take a long time to know Jon! That being said, here's your crash course. First, Jon is loyal. Whether helping his parents or his friends he quietly puts others before himself. He's a talented writer, an avid gamer, hardened DD expert, and he's the pet-parent to two ridiculously cute cats. Soon they'll be family and Kevin couldn't ask for a better Brother-in-law than Jon!
