We were thrilled — we reached the top of Half Dome in Yosemite for our first time, an elevation of 8,839 feet above sea level. Our group devoured all.the.food. to replenish our energy from the climb, and then found a space to take photos on the iconic granite dome. In the middle of photos, Jonathan knelt down and presented the ring. The truth? Holly knew a proposal was coming. She saw a receipt prior to the trip. But she didn't piece together when it was happening! Jonathan was so nervous, he forgot to switch on the GoPro he was wearing on his head! When we returned to camp at Little Yosemite Valley, we celebrated the best way you can while backpacking: shot-gunning craft beers. Because we're classy like that.
Oakland is special to us. We've shared some first dates along Lake Merritt. We've run these streets in road-running races. We've drank our way through the city's beer taprooms. And we now call Oakland our home. We can't wait to celebrate with our closest family and friends, in the city we hold dear! Cocktail hour will begin promptly at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, May 18th, 2018 at Oeste. See you there!
