Megan Richardson and Gretchen Tiernan were on opposing teams when they first met—playing college basketball for Cal State University, Fullerton and University of the Pacific, respectively—but they were destined to be teammates in life. It began casually. “It was one of those, ‘Hey, tell your friend I said what’s up!’ moments,” the couple shares. “Very quickly, it was something that we would move mountains to make happen. We dated for two years before we officially got together. We were living eight hours apart and on completely different schedules.” Suddenly, Gretchen’s career brought her to Los Angeles, where Megan was finishing college, and everything fell into place.
