We're getting married!

Max and Jessica met back in November of 2014 on a night out in downtown Livermore, California. Jessica and Max's sister Talia had been friends for years and decided to go out together for drinks. Jessica and Max had not yet met before but had seen pictures of each other. They both had asked Talia about each other in passing, both unknowingly mentioning to her that they thought the other was cute. Talia asked Jessica if she could invite Max to join them that night and of course she responded "sure!". The meet-up spot ended up being the front of the Livermore Post Office, closest in proximity to their parked cars, where Jessica and Max shook hands for the first time. Sparks flew! They hopped around from place to place, more friends joining in as the night went on. One friend mentioned to Jessica that Max kept looking over and staring at her. Jessica kept brushing it off, nervous yet hopeful that her friend was right. Eventually Max placed his hand on Jessica's back and the two were inseparable the rest of the night. He asked for her number and the rest is history.......almost. The two briefly dated for a couple of months into early 2015, but there was miscommunication about what they both were looking for. Jessica told him she liked him but wasn't sure that she was ready for a relationship, even though in her mind she knew that she was head over heels for him. Max told her he liked her but in his mind her answer made him think she must not like him enough. They slowly split apart, amicably yet confusingly, but they couldn't stop thinking of each other. Years went by as they lived their separate lives, both of course still asking Talia about the other. In 2018, Jessica (skeptically) went to a psychic with a friend for fun. This psychic asked her to think of a question she wanted answered. Jessica thought: when will I find my one true love? The woman went on to tell her that her one true love was already here; it was someone she already knew, connected to her circle of friends. Most importantly, this person's name began with the letter 'M' and the month of October was incredibly significant. She left wondering who this mystery 'M' could be. Months later, already having forgotten all about her predicted future, Jessica and Max reconnected through social media. They met up at McKay's in Pleasanton, in October, playing Jenga and listening to live music - once again inseparable. It wasn't until Jessica gushed to a friend about their reconnection that she and her friend both realized - "....the one true love 'M' name from the psychic is.....MAX!" Now here we are, six years later, getting ready to celebrate our love at our wedding this October with all of our favorite people. We can't wait to see you there!
