This love story began on November 12, 2017, at a quaint little dive bar on the streets of New York City—she with her grungey white knit no-finger gloves, and he with his cool-guy California king bubble vest. After getting to know each other over a few bloody mary's and mimosas at Alfie's, followed by another round at Mom's Kitchen & Bar, they knew it was a match made in heaven.  For her, a California dreamboat in New York was a rare find. And never did he think New York would surface a girl who embodied the laid-back California lifestyle he was accustomed to.  The two would go on to numerous dates consisting of cheese plates, broadway shows, beach and lake-life adventures, and eventually puppy parenting, until 3 years later a proposal on the Tampa Bay area shores of Anna Maria Island, Florida's west coast—a west coast, bay area fairytale (except on the east coast).  That is where the next chapter in this story begins, with all of you a part of it.
