WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!

Mike and Jackie were dragged to Huntington Beach for a "night-out" on a Sunday with their separate groups of friends. Mike noticed Jackie outside of a restaurant and started to flirt with her. She was shy and polite, but was relieved/surprised to find out that our friends were all there to meet up with each other! Everyone made their way into the restaurant and sat down, Mike and Jackie were side-by-side. After hours of talking, drinking, partying, and hanging out, it was clear there was something special. They shared interests in yoga, camping, movies, and more. After skydiving on their third date, they had fallen for each other.

One hot Saturday afternoon, Mike and our dog Zelda picked me up from work and we went Big Bear Lake beach for a picnic. Mike packed me a beautiful summer dress so I could get out of my work clothes and we found a unique looking tree to stop at. We set up a blanket, Mike put on music and poured wine. I turned around to secure Zelda's leash and before I could say anything Mike was down on one knee with a sparkling diamond! I will be honest, I was so shocked I mentally blacked out during most of his speech but we were both in tears and there were no words other than, "YES!" We left a small carving in that tree to mark our special day! We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Jamaica!!!
