Lonnie and I met casually at Disneyland where we worked. A few years later we began hanging out in the same friend group while Lonnie sparked interest in me. Nothing came out of those sparks until a few years later when I invited Lonnie to a night out with friends. Lonnie was persistent with his efforts and I finally gave him the chance to take me out on a date. Since then we both haven't looked back and our relationship proved we were a perfect match!

Anyone who knows Lonnie and I, knows that we LOVE beer. Going to breweries and figuring out what beers we liked allowed us to get to know each other better. It became "our" thing to visit local (and non-local) breweries in our search for the perfect brew! Since we started dating, we've visited over 60 breweries together throughout California, Arizona, and Florida. As our love for beer grew, so did our love for each other. Join us for our next beer adventure!

On the anniversary of our first getaway, Lonnie and I went back to San Francisco. Lonnie had been leaving clues and misdirections about why he planned the trip so I kinda had a feeling the proposal was coming. On the second day of our trip our day adventures brought us to Lands End, a trail that led to a labyrinth and overlooked the ocean. Lonnie told me that we were going to walk the hiking trail to get to the Cliffhouse Restaurant because he was really hungry, and I quickly realized I was in no place to argue with him. We made too many right turns that took us away from the hillside and towards the ocean when I started to become skeptical about where we were headed. When we reached the labyrinth, Lonnie insisted on walking through it and taking pictures. I started to get angry about going the wrong way and not reaching the Cliffhouse! With Lonnie running out of time and becoming increasingly nervous, he took me the center of the labyrinth and anxiously got down on one knee. The ring was upside down, I was completely speechless, and a German tourist couple coincidentally caught the proposal on video. I sealed the deal by saying "YES!" and we were finally engaged! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you!
