We matched on Tinder... late on New Year's Eve. James was in LA for the weekend to cheer Stanford Football on in the Rose Bowl. Joe was down the street at a New Year's Eve party with Yale friends. When we noticed that we had some high-quality friends in common (who provided encouraging reconnaissance) our interest was piqued. Thanks to a smashing Cardinal victory, James was in a particularly joyful mood for our first date at Father's Office in Culver City, down the street from Joe's home. Joe proceeded to order a salad at a famous burger restaurant, which threatened to tank the whole thing. Fortunately, James was undeterred and even pretended not to know how to use Snapchat as an excuse to sit next to Joe and take a selfie. Our easy enjoyment of each other's company and shared goofiness led to a second date the next day, a third date the next week, and then an (uncharacteristically impulsive) long weekend in Santa Barbara, where we realized we had something really special on our hands. Six years later we couldn't be happier to (finally!) return to where it all began to get married. XOXO, JB + JB
