We are absolutely elated to have all of you join us as we celebrate our two families becoming one!

Giovanna and Jamie were introduced through a very important common friend. This is an important distinction because this friend was not a dating app. This friend saw two people that could love each other. This friend's name is Laney. Laney asked Jamie how the dating was going and after a couple expletives he said, "I'm done dating! She is going to have to come to me!". That was Laney's cue. The first date was marked by Jamie spilling himself our all over the deck of the San Diego Ferry boat and more again in the San Diego Fish Market. Surprisingly, Giovanna did not flee, but rather accepted Jamie's raw state and ventured forth onto another date. Mountains, wily cats, beaches, ski trips, work stress, parenting, Mexican food, sleep apnea, children, family, rock climbing, massive final exams, dancing, music, real estate, meditation, teaching, salsa dancing, sickness, gluten allergies, depression, and travel were just a few of the experiences Giovanna and Jamie grew from during their first year together. Jamie's two children, Dylan and Charley, ages 10 and 12 respectively, have come to really love and appreciate Giovanna. Her Montessori approach to children has earned her respect and trust from the boys. The couple's second and third years were marked by spending much more time together, a perfectly executed surprise proposal at Harney's Sushi, and eventually sharing a home together in Coronado. Giovanna and Jamie are honored that you can join them for a day of celebration at the beautiful Rancho Tecate Resort, and they are counting on you to bring your dancing "A-Game" on September 28th!
