Not many people can say “I married my best friend” and truly mean it. When 6th grade Laura heard homesick cries from the bunkbed below her at Science Camp, she popped her head out, with her curls cascading over, to see what solace she could share. Kristen was instantly comforted. They soon shared many giggles, creating a growing friendship. From besties to roomies, they headed to Orange County to the same college to become Sleep Technologists. From late night study sessions, to getting a break at the beach, another type of love and appreciation began to blossom. 2015 4th of July, their old apartment neighbors saw their connection right away and were in disbelief that they weren’t together. Thanks to their neighbor's dare (and a little help from their friendly drink, Jameson) Laura & Kristen shared their first kiss. Not long after, Laura asked Kristen to become her girlfriend in West Hollywood, CA with their friends there to celebrate.
After 5 years of love, growth, & giggles (and a pandemic...) Laura proposed to Kristen on the gorgeous Pescadero Beach. Following that, Kristen proposed with her ring to Laura on the cliffside of Santa Cruz, CA. Two of their favorite beaches, now and forever.
