We met at BJ's restaurant in Santa Rosa, where we both worked. Luca pursued me with jokes, pranks, and poetry. Finally, after a long day at work, I asked Luca if he wanted to go to Third Street Ale Works to decompress over beer and pizza. Talking to each other was easy and soon after that we had our first date at Taylor Mountain. We both loved to hike and the outdoors, so that led to many more of our treasured adventures together. After 5 years of dancing in the kitchen and singing together on long car rides, Luca proposed to me while overlooking Half Dome from the infamous Snow Creek Trail in Yosemite. We can't wait to spend a life together climbing new mountains, exploring new places, and loving and supporting each other the whole way.
