Although Stacey and Don had heard about each other for years through their great friend Stephanie, their paths didn’t cross until July 2015 at Don’s (in)famous Fourth of July party. However, it wasn’t all fireworks at that time... They had friendly conversations, but Stacey was still living in NYC and Don was dating someone else. So they went their separate ways... but remained on each other's minds. Stacey moved to LA a short while later, and as time went on, Stacey would ask Stephanie how Don was doing and if he was breaking up with his girlfriend yet, and Don would let Stacey use his NFL Sunday Ticket to watch New York Jets games on the west coast. It was a super sweet gesture, but the universe still wasn't ready for them. More months passed, it was October 2016, Stephanie was getting married and as the universe finally had it, both would be at the wedding without a date. Maybe it was all the love in the air, the stars finally aligning, or the open bar, but when Stacey and Don finally greeted each other at the reception, the fireworks finally went off, and neither of them ever looked back from that moment. They had their first date a few days later, and fell in love pretty immediately... and as they say, the rest is history! They had a long journey to each other, but man, was it worth the wait. We hope to see you in Laguna Beach! We couldn't be more excited to celebrate with all the people we love!
