We're Getting Married!

They'd talked online a few times and smiled at each other's messages, but hadn't planned a first date yet, when Jerry asked Levi if he'd like to have lunch. Levi happily agreed and they made plans to dine at a new hot lunch spot downtown Los Angeles the following afternoon. BUT as is common on Friday nights, Levi went out with his friends and was extremely hungover the next morning... and was wary of trying anything too hipster. So, Levi called Jerry and explained his self inflicted pain and asked if Jerry wanted to grab ramen noodles instead. Jerry laughed off Levi's folly and the two met at Levi's favorite ramen spot for lunch. Levi wore sweatpants, a t-shirt, and baseball cap; while Jerry wore skinny jeans, a YSL t-shirt and had perfectly coiffed hair. Levi felt extremely embarrassed but despite the awkward start the two immediately hit it off talking about their travels around the world, love of food, live music, out of the way camping spots, and hiking adventures around California. Before they knew it, it was 2pm but neither wanted the date to end so they went to a movie - The Maze Runner. During the movie, Jerry grabbed Levi's hand and squeezed it. A few dates and three weeks later, Levi invited Jerry along for a weekend trip to Palm Springs with some friends and the rest, as they say, is history! They both feel each other is the best thing to happen to them and can't wait to spend the rest of their lives loving and learning about each other while they check off far flung travel spots around the globe.

We'd been dating for about two years and for the first time in Levi's life he went to sleep each night thinking that he wanted to marry Jerry. So after shopping with Jerry's best friend for rings, Levi started planning the perfect place and time to propose. Both of us LOVE live music and music festivals. So Levi thought it would be fitting to propose during our annual Coachella weekend. Levi brought both Levi and Jerry's friends in on the plan but swore them to secrecy! The plan was to propose to Jerry at sunset right before Beyonce took the stage.... however, as you know she just HAD to get pregnant with twins and cancelled her Coachella tour... but NOT to worry, Lady Gaga was a great plan B. Ha! So, in front of the the beautiful Coachella art installations, right as the sun was setting, Jerry's friend provided a distraction while the rest of us quickly changed into our "I'm with the Groom" tank tops. When Jerry turned around, Levi was on bended knee, pulled out his ring; and despite being a nervous wreck, asked Jerry to spend the rest of his life with him. Jerry said yes and got his own tank top to join the party LOL. It was the BEST Coachella EVER! :)
