Marriage coming soon

It was an office romance - we met working together at a lighting design firm in San Fransisco. On Alec's first day Jaime was the one to greet him. After a few months of working together Alec cracked Jaime up with a few history jokes. It was pretty obvious (not that either of us would admit it) that she liked him because the jokes were terrible. This is literally the first joke - Alec: Where does Napoleon keep his armies? Jaime: Alec: In his sleevies

What started as co-workers going out for drinks, grew into a secret office romance kept from friends and colleagues. Despite fancying ourselves super sly everyone caught on pretty quickly.

In 2018, on our annual friend trip to Yosemite, during a hike to Bridal Veil Falls (pun intended), Alec dropped down on one knee, Jaime cried, Alec cried and Jaime said "Yes!" Serious planning went into this proposal, our thoughtful friends packed in champagne flutes and bottles of bubbly. We all toasted together under the falling snow.

In early 2019 Jaime found out she was pregnant and on November 8th we welcomed Declan Bowie to the world. Midway through the pandemic, we moved out of Oakland to Los Osos on the central coast of California to be near Alec's family. These days we keep each other sane, crack each other up, and drive each other nuts while chasing around a toddler and cherishing every moment we get to spend together.
