We met through our very good friend, and one of the Best Men, Mario. Caitlin needed a place to live and Steven had an extra room. A few months later everything fell into place and we found our soulmates.
Just before our first anniversary, and our trip to Japan, Steven brought some of our best friends in the whole world over with the guise of a pizza party. I waited at home in sweatpants and a 49ers t-shirt and when the time came I thought he was joking! There had been a vaguely discussed plan and Steven telling me the ring was delayed so it seemed like more of a pre-proposal prank. When I got the confirmation, and of course said yes, we came back to our (slightly traumatized thinking I said no) friends and celebrated all night! It was quirky and messy but the best way it could have ever happened.
