COVID Accomodations

In light of Covid, we are allowing a viewing section from the balcony for the ceremony for guests who prefer to socially distance during the ceremony. The balcony will still allow you to have a great view of the ceremony! The reception tables, including those upstairs, will be socially distanced, and food will be served on individual plates. You are, of course, welcome to wear a mask as well. We are eager to celebrate with you!

How We Met

It's only creepy if it's not mutual

Travis and I both work at Principal but our story is a little more complicated than that. Oddly enough I can remember almost every time I saw Travis prior to us dating. I remember seeing him cross the crosswalk because we both parked in the same lot, I saw him at the gym, in the elevator, and I was able to do some detective work and figure out his name. Despite seeing him multiple times, it was over the course of three years so it wasn't that frequent and we had never worked together. I always remember thinking that, for whatever reason, I could see myself with him. One night after work we walked out at the same time and both ended up at Trader Joe's. I was on the phone and simply smiled and waved. Some time had passed and then we left work about the same time again. This time we both ended up at Whole Foods. Admittedly, I kind of meandered around the store hoping to have a run-in so I could introduce myself. I finally went up behind Travis at the check out and teased him that I thought he was following me to grocery stores. It took a few other incidents for us to end up on our first date including my coworker accidentally liking his Instagram photo when trying to zoom in, but the rest is pretty much history. Travis asked me out to our first date and I was so excited I couldn't sleep the night before. We hit it off right away and the rest is history! The best part was finding out Travis had done some detective work on his own and was wanting to meet me as well! That's why I say it's only creepy if it's not mutual ;)
