When we first moved in together, we were both trying to find the "ideal" location in the Los Angeles area. It wasn't long before we both shared that Long Beach had been a dream living location for each of us, and we quickly set about finding a new home we could share. When we moved into our Olive St. apartment in October of 2018, it was very clear that this was the place we were meant to be. Whether it was the ocean breeze, the food, the proximity to the beach, the biking, or any of the other amazing benefits, we were hooked. Unfortunately, as life often does, some unforeseen circumstances would soon make staying in Long Beach impossible, but we wouldn't let it slip away that easily. We continued to visit almost every Sunday to play soccer in the sand, and when it came time to officially decide on a place to hold forever in our hearts as the place we were married, the choice was obvious. We can't wait to celebrate with all of you in this place we hold so dear.
