We are so thrilled to share a wedding weekend to remember with you! We know that while we are busy preparing for our big day, you are getting ready to plan your trip to the Santa Ynez Valley in the central coast of California. For some of you, this means a short getaway from other parts of the state, and for others, it means a trek across the country. However long your journey, we want you know how much it means to each of us that you’ll be here to celebrate with us on December 7. hugs from hollywood, Stef & Megan

We met while playing kickball in the Varsity Gay League. Our teams played each other but it wasn't until the end of the season party where we first talked. From then on we talked and talked until we went on our first official date to Golden Road Brewery. After a few month of dating, we faced our first big challenge, Megan was moving to San Diego for a 10 month internship. Stefanie got herself a San Diego Zoo membership and filled up her gas tank. After Megan's internship was over, she (also Emerson & Violet) moved back to Los Angeles to be with Stefanie. Both of our careers began to flourish, Megan's job as a professor went full time and Stefanie was getting opportunities as television editor. Through it all, we fell in love and both knew that we were each other's person.

"Megan and I planned a trip to Hawaii to hang out with my Dad, my sister Amy and her fiancé Luke. Little did she know that I was planning to ask her to marry me. I coordinated with Amy to help with the surprise. Around sunset on 2nd night of the trip I told Megan that Amy and Luke wanted pictures on the beach with my nice camera. I said that they would also take pictures of us so we should dress cute. As she got ready, I slipped the ring box into my back pocket and we met up outside with my Amy, Luke and my dad. I tried to walk behind Megan because I was convinced she could see the ring box in my back pocket. When we got to the beach I took some photos of Amy and Luke then we switched and Megan and I posed while they took a few pictures of us. I pulled out my phone which had a video loaded on it. It was compilation of clips from a project I do every year where I take one second of video on most days and edit it together. When the video ended (maybe it was a little too long, oops!) I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me on the beach I had been going to my whole life. It was perfect."

"In May 2018, I was celebrating my birthday with Stef and friends in Big Bear. Just before the trip, she was being really secretive about my birthday cake, so I thought she was up to something and going to propose that weekend. It turned out that my best friend, Will, was flying into surprise me and bringing the cake. Hooray! But I was totally wrong! When we were in Hawaii with Amy, Luke and Stef's Dad, I really didn't see the proposal coming just 13 days after I mistook another surprise for popping the question. That evening, I was really confused why Stef was wanting me to put on a dress and fix up my "beach hair look" at the relatively quiet spot we'd be meandering every night! On our way to the sand, I started to think something was up; my heart was racing, but still -- I had been dead wrong just a week ago! Yes, as Stef mentioned, the video was long, but it was perfect. She had cut our captured seconds down to the most quintessential moments in our lives over the previous three years (she's an editor after all) and we're lucky enough to have so many important memories together already. I got so nervous and excited during the video, I dug my feet into the beach so deeply that by the time she was on one knee, my legs were like two ostrich heads in the sand. I remember that I replied most eloquently: Uh huh!"
