How we met

A guy and girl walk into a bar...

June 17th, 2016, Father's Day weekend, under the weirdest of circumstances their paths crossed. Justin, a new Livermore resident, was out downtown for dinner and drinks with his dad Phil, who was visiting for the weekend to celebrate the holiday and Justin's new home. Amanda, out to dinner with her friend Larissa, was enjoying a few cocktails and laughs as well. One cocktail clearly led to another when Larissa and Amanda ventured down the street to the V&E Club. Notorious for being the dive of all dive bars, the V&E is one of a kind. If you look past the weathered shuffle board table, beer stained pool table, cash only sign, naked portraits on the walls, and particularly rough looking crowd, its got charm. At least after a few drinks. It wasn't long before Justin and Phil swung through those same doors on their way home for a quick game of pool. After a game or two, they were caught off guard by a sizable biker in his leathers, and a long ponytail walking in their direction. Nervous to approach the handsome Justin on her own, Amanda enlisted the help of this burly biker to initiate the introduction. To her surprise, Justin walked right over and introduced himself. After chatting for a while it was time to leave. Amanda said, "Are you going to get my number or what?" The next day, with Phil by their side, they went on their first date to the county fair. After watching the horses race, they cozied up at the local wine bar as Philly showed off his smooth moves on the dance floor. Nothing about their meeting was normal, and they wouldn't have had it any other way. They've been inseparable ever sense, and can't wait to be husband and wife.
