Our Love Story

August 2018

BRIAR: Jess's beauty caught my eye as she frantically walked up the stairs to our first handstand class together following her solo trip to Europe. As I approached her nervously (but pretending to be confident), we became partners for what would be the first time of a lifelong San Diego adventure! After locking my keys in the van on our first date and Jess falling through the stairs at the place I was staying, you could say she was in for a wild ride! Five years later and a pandemic later, we have tons of adventures and many more to come in our future together! JESS: When I first met Briar, I was a college student on summer break getting super into yoga and acro yoga. I was eagerly searching for an acro partner! I friended him on Facebook shortly after the first handstand class we took together, and I was super excited when he messaged me asking to be partners. We decided to meet up at an acro jam, and then we made plans for almost every day after because we had so much fun together. Some of my favorite memories are the surfing and rock climbing lessons he gave me in the first few weeks after we met! It didn't take long for the two of us to become best friends and start building a life together. Briar went from surf instructor to barista to Physical Therapist Assistant. Jess went from college student to teacher to educational technology trainer. We survived the scary days of a pandemic, moved into a cozy condo, traveled across the country, and became dog parents to our favorite golden girl, Marvel! We are so excited and grateful to be starting this next chapter in our life. We cannot wait to celebrate our wedding with you and all of our loved ones! Thank you so much for supporting us in our journey.
