Who knew that California and Virginia would meet in Ohio! One might say it all started because of grad school. Another might say it started because of a cat. (And both would be correct) But the groom would attest that it all started with a pretty girl he met on Day One, that he could not get out of his head. He loved her as much as she would let him, from housewarming roses and sitting by her in every class possible, to helping nurse her sick cat back to health. And every moment they shared, she couldn't imagine feeling more comfortable, more alive than with him. Until she finally realized: she had long since fallen for him too. So he proposed on the same beach where her childhood self dreamed of her future, and now each day is one closer to "I do." We can't wait for you to join us.
