Ah, where to begin on the journey of the two lovebirds. Well I should start by saying they are in fact, not birds but two individuals whos love for each other is beautiful and strong. So, to begin, and I promise Cali can attest to this, she had no intention of anything more than being friends with Jack when she gave him her number at work. As graceful and smooth as our groom is, Jack proceeded to lose all synaptic potential with his attempts to impress Cali with a sly response and decided to move forward with texting himself from her phone with his name... Nailed it. However, a short time later, Jack landed himself a date with the girl who just wanted to be his friend. Its easy to say it was love at first sight. After dating for a few moments, they realized and I quote "hey you're pretty weird" and it was fireworks. Boat days, walks in nature and countless adventures these two continued to grow closer and more fond of each other. Just a short 7 months prior to the proposal, Jack decided to ask Cali's dad for permission to marry her, in which the response was as poetic as the conception of their relationship "you've got to Buy a ring first idiot." Dually noted, Cali, a free, strong and wildflower of a human persisted on doing more life which included, ups, downs, sideways, even straying to a multitude states, countries and dimensions. Their love continued to grow and grow and their life was beginning to take form. Co-workers, partners and best friends. Cali finally gave permission to Jack on September 25th 2023 to ask her to marry him. They were on a vacation back to Cali's hometown of Lawrence Kansas so obviously there would be a break to find a ring, plan a proposal and plan a wedding. Jack proposed on September 27th 2023. Cali has always wanted a small, non diamond, non pointy ring, and Jack is a very very good listener. Little to her knowledge the day prior to the proposal, Jack bought a ring from the jewelry store they both went to to "look at jewelry" and believe it or not it was the biggest, pointiest ring he could find. The story of Jack and Cali continues to develop daily, faced with challenges, opportunities and a breath of fresh air for two humans who needed each other to believe in love again. They are looking forward to hosting an event where two worlds are able to collide and everyone can bask in the next chapter of their story.
