Our first date was a Washington Nationals vs Twins baseball game. It ended up being the longest regular-season game in Nationals history - 16 innings! Needless to say, the entire day was a home run and the start of something special.

During a weekend getaway to the cliffs in southern Maine, unbeknownst to Rachel, Johnnie had a surprise brewing. What was intended to be a combined Thanksgiving trip and belated birthday celebration for Johnnie, transformed into an entirely different festive occasion. The plan was to enjoy some time in a private igloo, overlooking the ocean for some pre-Thanksgiving dinner cocktails & fondue. Moments after being shown to their igloo, Rachel was busy asking the server to take a few photos to capture the moment. It was then she turned back to find Johnnie down on one knee...and the rest, as they say, is history!

We are thrilled to start this next chapter of our lives and hope you can share in our love at our wedding in Malibu!
