We met while working together at Beer Thirty Bottleshop & Pourhouse. We bonded as coworkers and friends, often grabbing brews and playing billiards together after a long day of work. We went to a baseball game in San Fransisco with friends, for Jackie's birthday, where we tailgated, shared tasty craft beers, and took a big leap over that friend zone line with a kiss (or two). It was then that we realized we wanted to enjoy each other's company more and more.

Fast forward 5 years. We've endured long distance, life altering events, new job and education opportunities, and loads of fun memories! We got engaged at the annual Family Shasta House Boating Trip in September 2020. We had survived a hellacious wind storm and apocalyptic smoke. Austin decided he couldn't wait any longer to ask Jackie to commit to going through all of the ups and downs of life together...and she said, YES!
