It was a beautiful San Francisco day in June 2013. Charlie and Liz had individual plans to attend a daytime event hosted by Aussie friend, Ally, at Bar Bocce in Sausalito, California. They traveled separately to Pier 39, bought their individual tickets, and each purchased a coffee having no idea that they were about to meet and become one another's partners in crime for life. Liz, Charlie and Scottish friend, Ed, were standing next to one another in line to board the Blue & Gold Ferry to Sausalito when Liz turned to the two and asked if they were attending Ally's bocce ball party. The perceptive NJ native could tell that Charlie and Ed were not tourists. The three became quick friends, boarded the ferry together, relished over dream homes in Sausalito, enjoyed sun and cocktails at Bar Bocce and finally, boarded the ferry back to San Francisco. Many hours later the three reconvened for a night cap. Liz and Charlie hit it off again, making plans for their first date! The couple grew close quickly; spending time together, enjoying one another's humor, supporting one another through difficult life occurrences, celebrating one another's successes, and traveling to see and meet friends and relatives all over the world. By land, by air or by sea, Charlie and Liz were meant to be. -- In true Liz and Charlie fashion, they look forward to throwing a huge bash and sharing their very special day and wedding weekend with so many of their favorite people.
