Our story begins many moons ago in the year 2010! A magical year. Obama was president, the first iPad was on the market, and Kanye West was still cool. There we were - just two bright-eyed college students, ready to start our new adventures at UC Santa Cruz. And that’s how we met, on move-in day: September 16th 2010 (Johnny’s 19th birthday)! Johnny swears he knew we would get married the moment we met, but we decided to play it by ear. So we spent the next couple of years as good (just) friends. We enjoyed countless evenings watching Game of Thrones, listening to Modest Mouse, and doing...other kinds of college activities. Eventually, we decided to move in together (along with 3 other good friends). And as soon as we were roommates, we were married. The End. Just kidding! The rest is truly history. Our relationship grew into love, which grew into the life we’ve created in Santa Cruz. In our little apartment by the beach, we welcomed our cat Toast, went back to school to become special education teachers, and built a community of friends old and new. A big wedding has always been on our wish list, and we’re finally ready to make this thing official. We are beyond excited to celebrate with family and friends in this happy little place we call home. Cheers!
