let's get married!

we met while JD was working as a chef in seattle for a 3 year stint. i met him at year 1.5 as a semi-regular at his restaurant. my cousin tess, the OG (original) regular, introduced us properly. we hit it off due to our shared love for food, travel and negronis. and two years later, here we are, living in charleston. it added up to 8 months of long distance, driving 3,000 cross country miles and knowing it was all worth it. we are so excited to to share our big day with you!

this december, we rented a beach house with my family in seabrook, washington right on the coast. during the one, sunny break from the rain, we decided to take a walk on the beach. everyone was there including my parents, sister and uncle. my nephews were making sand angels on the beach, we had a flask of tequila for good measure, and my brother in law brian had his camera out to capture us soaking in the beautiful stretch of washington coast line. it was our turn to get our picture taken together with the beach as the backdrop, when he got down on his knee to propose. it was truly epic!!
