It was a warm October in 2015, Delaney had plans to attend an Xavier Rudd concert, but couldn't find anyone to go with her. She decided to go solo, which turned out to be the best thing that could have happened because she made herself available to meet a lot of new friends, including her future husband! It was just like the movies - picture a dark, smokey room, music playing in the background - they saw each other from across the crowd. Shane thought to himself, wow this is a spicy lady, but she was surrounded by people trying to get her attention, so he let go and went back to feeling himself on the dancefloor. Delaney also thought Shane was spicy, his blonde man bun, barefeet, and vibey dance moves pulled her in. She wiggled her way through the crowd toward Shane and placed herself to his left. To Shane's utter delight, the beautiful girl he noticed moments before broke his dance trance with a "Hey, I think we should be friends." Shane agreed without hesitation. The rest of the night they danced and talked, a deep attraction forming as they were blasted with the vibrations from Xavier Rudd's Digeridoo. After the concert they went for a full moon swim in the ocean, then stayed up all night chatting about life with Shane's friend J.L. as a chaperone. At the time Delaney was living in SLO and Shane was living in Santa Cruz, so they spent a month having deep talks over the phone. As the anticipation built to a boil, Delaney decided to take Shane camping at her favorite secret spot in big sur, a beautiful forested nook on a cliff over the ocean. The first night camping they said I love you and the rest is history. Two van-builds, three different zip codes, four years of living together, and a six week road trip sealed the deal - it was time to get hitched! Shane popped the question on top of a mountain in Mammoth at the end of their road trip around the western U.S. while our friend Sean Farkas snapped some epic romantic photos (pictured on our site). As hard as Shane tried to make it a surprise, Delaney had a sneaking suspicion ; ) After two years of graduate school, San Diego living, a prolonged engagement, and a lot of wedding planning during a pandemic, we are FINALLY READY TO GET THIS PARTY GOING!! We cannot wait to celebrate with all of our loved ones at Delaney's Family home, get ready for a most legendary celebration of LOVE!
