If you asked Riv... we actually met at the library a few months prior, but that's just not as fun. It was a random Tuesday, neither of us planned to go out but alas what else is there to do in college? We had mutual friends that we met up with that night. Not going to lie, the meet cute is kind of a blur but all we know is it involved fireball, chicken tenders, and a random construction site. We've been attached at the hip ever since. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't find love at Red Lion
In May 2019, we planned a 12-day west coast road trip starting in Seattle ending in San Diego. It was the most magical vacation we've ever been on. 12 days of driving countless hours, car dancing, sleeping in a different place every night. Honestly, the days and the places started to blend together. So many mountains on our left and the endless Pacific Ocean on our right. We couldn't imagine doing this with anyone else. Loving each other is so easy and being together feels like a gift. People have said that our love is inspiring, magical, electric. We have something special. The morning of, we woke up in a random motel in Crescent City, CA about an hour away from Redwood National & State Park. We spent the morning hiking before driving to Napa Valley. We were only spending a day there, but Jerron knew it was a special place in Riv's heart and planned on popping the question there. We had a 5-hour drive to Napa Valley and didn't realize all the wineries closed in the early evening. We were lucky enough to find a couple places that stayed open past 4pm as our ETA was around 3 o'clock. We took turns getting ready in the car as we chased the clock to make our wine tasting reservation. As we got there, Riv went in to check-in, while Jerron was being a sneaky mf and hid the ring in his pant pocket. We enjoyed our first glass of wine before deciding to find a picnic table outside to enjoy the view. Jerron was being weirdly particular about the spot, but it went right over Riv's head. As soon as we found a spot to Jerron's liking, a rando came up and asked to take a picture of us. It was so divinely timed, Jerron knew this was his moment and we have the photos to capture our special day. On May 27th 2019 at Rutherford Hill Winery in Napa Valley, WE said YES!
