Friends & Family, We hope everyone is safe, healthy, and in good spirits! As more time has gone by, and our wedding date approaches, it is with mixed emotions that we have decided to shift our original plans. We will enjoy an intimate ceremony on August 8th with our immediate families, and we hope to celebrate our first anniversary all together in Summer 2021! We will be in touch with future updates. P.S. Find our story below :) Love, Stesha and Ross

This love story begins at Apple Blossom Elementary school in beautiful Sebastopol, California. Stesha and Ross are in the fourth grade. Not sharing any classes together, many of their early interactions take place at recess - Stesha and her friends hanging out on the eagles nest, while Ross and the boys shoot hoops at the basketball courts. This was a friendly relationship, but it takes a few more years until real sparks start to fly... Fast forward to Analy High School in the year of 2006. The two are now sixteen years old and Juniors in high school. Their friendship continues to grow, and paths start to cross more frequently given their shared interest in sports. They even started to go on double dates together and, secretly, Ross would plot his strategy to woo Stesha and make her his girlfriend. Turns out, the strategy worked! Their love for one another grew quickly and before they knew it, they were heading off to college. Ross would play football at UC Berkeley and Stesha began her path towards nursing at Santa Rosa Junior College and San Francisco State. Those college years proved to be busy and challenging, but it sure made this relationship stronger! They have now been on a post college adventure, tackling their careers living in Walnut Creek, San Francisco and now New York City. These high school sweethearts are excited to start a new chapter in 2020 - turning 30 and marrying in their sweet home town <3
