The saying goes that nothing good ever happens after midnight, but there are exceptions to every rule. In April 2014, we each headed to Jazz Fest in the Big Easy. Pete was there for a bachelor party (and to see Phish) and Amanda was there to enjoy her first fest (and to see Phish). It was the witching hour when we first met outside One Eyed Jack’s in New Orleans. The spark was instantaneous and undeniable, and Amanda extended her trip to spend a few more days with Pete. It was remarkable that even though we had both lived in San Francisco for over 20 years collectively and shared a common music community, somehow we had never met before that evening. But alas, life soon took us in different directions. Pete moved to New York to pursue his Masters at NYU, while Amanda moved to Denver to prove once and for all that she needs to live near an ocean. Fast forward to 2019, when Amanda moved to Brooklyn. We reconnected through mutual friends, but it wasn't until the Covid lockdown hit that we truly became inseparable. We were fortunate to live walking distance from each other at the time, so we became each other’s pod mate and together we wandered the surreal landscape of New York City during lockdown. After countless dinners and covid cocktail hours, jigsaw puzzles and rounds of backgammon, it was obvious that the spark was still there. The rest, as they say, is history. So almost eleven years after that fateful night on Toulouse St. and endless adventures later ... we're getting Merried! We are so thrilled to be able to bring our family, friends, and (some of) our favorite musicians together to celebrate our wedding day in the Bay Area - a place where we both left our ❤️❤️ Thank you so much for joining us. We couldn't imagine this day without you.
