How We Met

Timing is Everything

When they were introduced at a job in Oahu, Jenny immediately exclaimed, "I remember you!" even though both were masked. Francis spent the entire morning wondering how they knew each other. It wasn't until midday, when he spotted Jenny eating lunch through a window, that he recalled how they had crossed paths. Francis had frequently brought scenery to SF with Hot Rod Shop, and Jenny would sometimes lend the carpenters a hand when she wasn't busy hanging lights and truss. They had exchanged a few "Livin' the dream!"-s in those moments. Under the Hawaiian sun, preparing for a Dave Matthews Band concert, they zipped around in golf carts ensuring their coworkers stayed hydrated. It was during those rides and conversations that they discovered a mutual admiration for each other's kindness and free-spirited nature. Once back in the Bay Area, their newfound friendship flourished. They went for dog walks, collected wood for bonfires at Dillon Beach, enjoyed hikes, shared music playlists, and had BBQs at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park. With their canine companion, Jughead, by their side, they often reflect on how they truly are living the dream.

The Proposal

12.14.2022

Francis and Jenny were hanging in the camp hosts' trailer, preparing the kitchen tables for a game of air hockey, when the ring sizer came out. Angela explained she was going to make rings to sell at fairs, and "needed to sample some fingers." But there was a slight linger as she measured Jenny's left hand. A direct look exchanged with her husband, Jeff, as he noted down "STRAIGHT NINE." That's when Jenny knew something was in the works. Francis plotted the proposal after that while keeping the ring hidden in a work boot in his truck. A week after the one-year anniversary of their date at Sugarloaf, they found themselves at a park table, enjoying a picnic Francis had lovingly prepared. He suggested they record each other reminiscing about favorite memories together. As they nibbled on Jenny's homemade cookies, Francis retrieved the ring from his jacket - creating a beautiful new memory.
