We're getting married!

Due to COVID-19, we have decided to postpone our wedding celebration indefinitely. We will let you know if and when we select a new date to celebrate together. In the meantime, we are planning to get married this Spring/Summer in an outdoor ceremony in Jenny's parent's backyard, with only our immediate families. We appreciate all of your love and support throughout our years of wedding planning and we hope we will be able to celebrate our marriage with you in the future when we know it will be safe for everybody to attend. In the meantime, we are wishing you health and happiness!

Pedro and Jenny first met while working at the amusement park Great America in 2012. Jenny was working as a ride operator, but Pedro was a supervisor at another ride. He was asked to stand in as Jenny's supervisor for one day. Virtually zero interaction occurred, except maybe some googly eyes. Fast forward to March 2013, Jenny came back to the ride she worked at to do an engineering project and Pedro was now the supervisor there. Instead of supervising, he talked to her for hours while she collected data. After 3 consecutive Fridays of not doing his job, he finally asked her on a much anticipated date.

After a seven weeks of dating, Pedro told Jenny to get all dressed up for a special date. They headed off to the Stanford Theater in Palo Alto, a beautiful ornate movie theater from the 1920s. They were playing Singin' In The Rain. Once the organist finished playing the overture, the red velvet curtains began to rise. Pedro took this moment to turn to Jenny and ask if she would be his girlfriend. Everyone was clapping because the movie was starting, so she couldn't hear anything he said. Luckily, she got the gist and said yes.

Fast forward six years from when they made it official. Jenny and Pedro are now elderly. They have two cats, a house, tech jobs in Silicon Valley and many, many coffee mugs. Jenny had given up hope for a proposal after the five year anniversary. As they were about to head to dinner on their sixth anniversary, Pedro told Jenny to wait in the kitchen while he got her present from the car. When he came back in, he marched straight at her at an alarming pace and yelled "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" while getting down on one knee. Jenny started crying, immediately fell to her knees, took the ring, and presumably said yes. He was too nervous and she was too overwhelmed to remember anything after that. Then they went to dinner.
