When Fate Took Us to Beer Thirty

A chance meeting, a shared laugh, and a love story written by fate.

On June 3, 2017, what started as a spur-of-the-moment outing turned into the beginning of something extraordinary. My aunt and I decided, on a whim, to head over to Beer Thirty Tap House in Santa Cruz for a beer. What we didn’t know was that this ordinary decision would lead to an unforgettable moment. While we were there, I ran into some childhood friends who just so happened to be at the tap house too. They weren’t alone—they had brought their roommate along, and that’s when I was introduced to Christopher. It wasn’t planned, it wasn’t forced—it was one of those rare, completely organic moments that just don’t happen every day. We all sat together, sharing beers, laughter, and stories. There was an undeniable ease to the evening, like the universe had aligned just right. By the end of the night, Christopher asked for my number, and from that simple, natural connection, the rest was history. What began as a casual night out has blossomed into something we could have only dreamed of, and we can’t wait to celebrate our journey with all of you!
