Our story begins in 2005 at friend's birthday party, drinking water, at the library....promise. Over the next 4 years, we never cut class to go sit by the creek or grab a pint at The Bear in the middle of the day... but if we had... it would have been in those moments that we clicked and connected on every level. Since then, we have bounce from apartment to apartment, job to job, finding our way in a crazy world along with our cat, Bella. Through it all we've spent every day of the past 14 years together; growing, learning, laughing, exploring and loving. And from here we began the next chapter of our life. Once upon a time in Tahoe California....
In August 2019 we took our annual trip to Tahoe to celebrate our birthday's because there is nothing like the fresh mountain air to kick off a new year. Instead of the usual hikes, bikes, boating or beach time, Danny had mapped out a fun new off roading trip for us to try. We took an adventurous path to the top of Mt. Watson in North Lake Tahoe. As we bounced to the top, passing deep woods and beautiful meadows, the path was a whirlwind of little fluttering butterflies. Turns out they were California Tortoiseshell butterflies and they where everywhere you looked! As we found the trail's end, we fell upon a tranquil lake dancing with even more butterflies. It was magic. This was the moment where he got down on one knee and she said, "Yes!"
After our engagement in 2019, we had planned an October wedding for 2020..... we all know what happened next lol. COVID hit in March of 2020 and our plans to get married that year were shot to hell. Despite it all we were able to get the paperwork pushed through and we eloped the very next day in our living room during our lunch break. We were married over Zoom by a justice of the piece and our witness was a rando named Edward. It was magic on a Thursday afternoon. Also, Katie would like it to be known that she got married in yoga pants. (can I get a What-What😂) Now that everything is getting back to normal we can't wait to Finally have the wedding of our dreams and Celebrate all our family and friends.
