Our story is a long, winding road to forever. We were initially introduced back in August 2017, by our best friends, Billy & Emily Ring, in Lake Tahoe. A big group trip to Billy's parent's house for the weekend, is where it all began. Both of us had been "pitched" to the other one prior to the trip. It was Tracy's first trip to Lake Tahoe, so there was a lot of build up for many reasons. Many drinks, lots of flirting and a few harmless kisses between us filled the weekend. Unfortunately Daniel was still living in SF and Tracy in LA, so we went our separate ways for the time being. Fast forward a few years, and a few attempts by Daniel to get Tracy up to SF (for a football game). Daniel's big attempt to win her over, was to invite Tracy to the NINERS vs BROWNS game, knowing Tracy (sadly) is a loyal Browns fan...but apparently he was left on read. Oops. Tracy needed to put Daniel through a few tests, as she does. Fast forward a few more years, and Daniel finally decided to move down to LA! This being the beginning of the pandemic, things were a bit weird. Tracy was living on the East Coast for a few months because of the pandemic, but upon her arrival back in LA, she immediately asked Daniel to go up to Runyon together, since she knows how much he loves it up there. They continued this song and dance of being friends for a few more months, up until the ever famous Pirate Cheetah music video shoot. Something finally shifted and the flirtation became clear that there was more between them. Daniel's 35th Birthday was approaching, and Tracy couldn't wait to do something special for him, and so she decided to buy the Number Balloons that would continue as tradition for every year to come. Tracy finally made her feelings well known to Daniel (and everyone else) that evening. In the weeks to come though, Daniel never asked Tracy out on a date...and so she again became confused, and made many phone calls to many friends to figure out what she could possibly be overlooking. Finally, Tracy invited Daniel, Emily and Billy to the beach one beautiful day, as a last ditch effort to make this work. They hung out all day, went to dinner that evening and then Daniel walked Tracy safely to her car, like the gentleman he is. Once Daniel began to walk away though, Tracy's typical forwardness came out, and she (accidentally) yelled at Daniel "CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION!?" A question that will forever haunt Daniel. She made him explain why he had not yet asked her out. Once the air was cleared, the rest was history. Tracy and Daniel were inseparable after that, moving in together 9 months later. 3 years and 2 months later they were engaged in a beautiful surprise weekend to Carmel, CA. Daniel knows how much Tracy loved Carmel the first time they went, so he surprised her with a weekend away that would change their lives forever. After a surprise proposal on the beach, Daniel brought Tracy to her second surprise...when she got out of the car she saw the sign for Sky Diving. Tracy laughed hysterically then jumped at the chance to do something crazy with her new Fiancé. Daniel played along until finally revealing that they would be going on a private helicopter tour of the coastline. Daniel looked at Tracy and said "this is why I love you, you never say no and you are always open to do anything." As you can tell Tracy wrote this very long winded story, because she doesn't know how to do anything otherwise. We cannot wait to celebrate with all of you, it is going to be a weekend to remember! Get ready to dance, drink, laugh, and cry a million times over.
