Josh and I met three years ago on April 10th at Sultans Kebab in Pleasanton, CA. Josh trained me to take over his old role at Trex while we ate falafels and hummus. We immediately became friends, realizing we had many similarities in how we work, and how we interact with the world around us. Around a year later we went on our first date to the Vallejo Pirate Festival, and I knew when he dressed up with me that I had found someone special. From that moment on, we were inseparable. We started traveling almost every weekend together, playing board games and seeing live shows all over the West Coast from Portland to Pasadena to Tahoe City. We spent time with family, playing with our niece and nephews and dreaming about starting our own family one day. A few weeks ago, on the anniversary of three years since we met, on a beautiful cliff side in Northern California, Josh got down on one knee and proposed to me. Two proposal plans were thwarted by COVID-19, but thankfully he didn't let that stop him from giving me one of the best moments of my life. These turbulent times have led to many of us re-adjusting our lives, and becoming familiar with new realities. For Josh and I, this means getting married now. We don't know what the future holds for large events, and I'm too damn in love with this man to stay engaged for a few years as we wait to see how things unfold. We decided a confidential wedding at a local court house was exactly what we wanted, given that the wedding of our dreams - the wedding we really want - is unobtainable for the foreseeable future. We hope you all understand, and know that we would've loved nothing more than to celebrate with you all in person. We hope to gather everyone together in the future, and maybe we'll have a few more members of the family to celebrate our love with.
