We met in a dingy dive bar in Culver City, California following an opening night party for a show I (Cambria) had been working on. Jerry was lucky enough to be a mutual friend's plus one for the evening and his world was forever changed when I showed up at his table offering free beer refills! He quickly got to work finding out who the "beer goddess" was, and the rest was written in Facebook Messenger history! We spent the next several months hanging out and watching lots of scary movies together until we decided we were just better together.
I (Jerry) quickly deciphered Cambria's love of horror movies and worked to win her over by offering suggestions of foreign scary movies! During our first hang out we walked in the rain to Grand Central Market, got takeout, and watched The Babadook. I (Jerry) sealed the hang out with an awkward kiss - which caught Cambria completely off guard! This hang solidified our love of scary movies and pizza!
We spent quite a few months getting to know each other and building a friendship so by the time we decided we wanted to be together the first date seemed almost redundant! We spent our first real date going to see yet another scary movie and grabbing dinner! I (Cambria) had moved to Jerry's side of town at this point, so most evenings ended with Jerry making a very conscious effort to win Bailey over (aka late night walks and ball throwing)!
Jerry told me he loved me on my birthday after we'd spent the weekend setting up and hosting my 25th birthday party/house warming! This weekend also marked the first time The Chichi's met Jerry (no pressure)... Luckily he charmed the whole fam and the party proved a great success! It marked the first event of many we've hosted together and commingled our friends! Looking forward to once again combining friends and family at our wedding!!!
Jerry proposed on Christmas Eve and I said the most enthusiastic "YES!" I've ever given! It was the most perfect highlight of an otherwise terrible year! Jerry worked with my parents to surprise me with the sweetest proposal! I was so touched he included my parents and pleasantly surprised the parentals kept such a weighty secret! We rang in the holidays as newly dubbed "fiancés" and are now in the throes of planning our wedding!
Our Wedding Day! We are so excited to share this day with you! In light of the current COVID-19 situation we are optimistically planning our intimate dream wedding! Fingers crossed we say "I do" surrounded by our most cherished loved ones! We're working really hard to make this day so dang special, and can't wait to celebrate!
