We're getting married!

We both joined a local gym to us, in Santa Monica, and attended the same 5:15 workout class together for weeks, but never spoke a word until one Friday evening at "Brick & Mortar". The gym hosted a happy hour for their members and after a few drinks, laughs, and social media adds, we hit it off. Conversation flowed, laughter erupted, and Snapchats were exchanged. It didn't take much time before we went on our first (absolutely cliche and perfect) date: Rita's Italian Ice & a long walk on the beach. We ended up at lifeguard tower 8 in Santa Monica... where we'd find ourselves again 5 years later.

On a beautiful and breezy summer evening in August of 2018, we cruised over to Santa Monica for a group date. Arriving earlier than everyone else, Phil convinced me to go for a sunset stroll on the beach in my heels. We crossed the highway, through the tunnel, and made it to boardwalk with our eyes set on the silhouette of lifeguard tower 8. We both popped our shoes off and walked through the warm sand into the sunset towards our first date spot. As I turned around from the view into Malibu, Phil was on one knee, reminiscing on our 5 years, with a ring in hand asking to spend the rest of his life with me. I SAID YES
