We first met in the summer of 2023, and from the very moment our paths crossed, something undeniably special began to unfold. It was a quiet yet powerful connection, the kind that catches you by surprise. Though we are two people with very different passions—Bud, the outdoor enthusiast, always seeking the next adventure in nature, and Jojo, who thrives on the excitement of shopping and savoring the perfect French 75—our love story blossomed in the most unexpected and beautiful way. What makes our bond so strong is how we’ve come to embrace each other’s worlds. Bud has introduced Jojo to the awe of outdoor explorations, while Jojo has shared her love for the finer things in life, like a perfectly crafted cocktail and an unforgettable night out. Together, we’ve learned that love is about supporting each other’s passions, finding joy in the simple moments, and sharing laughter along the way. On October 11, 2024, we reached a milestone in our journey together. Bud proposed on a private sunset sail in San Diego—an evening that felt like something out of a dream. As the sun gently set on the horizon, surrounded by love, we both knew we had found our forever. That night, we celebrated with our closest family, marking the beginning of a lifetime of shared memories and adventures. We are filled with gratitude as we step into this new chapter, and we are so excited to celebrate our love with all of you.
