Othello and I met more than twenty years ago. It was a chance meeting. We exchanged phone numbers with little expectation that we would ever talk again. Our first call initiated conversations that would establish a foundation of familiarity, comfort, trust, and love.

For years our platonic friendship grew, our friends waiting patiently for our love to coalesce, when finally Jess decided enough was enough and said, "We're getting drinks." That night we made out on a dark dance floor in a basement bar, and we've been inseparable ever since.

It’s that time of the year! Here are our favorite real wedding moments from 2018!

Janelle:

William and I met through my aunt at an Olive Garden. We re-connected six days later in San Diego, and in true “US” fashion we met at a favorite taco shop of mine. From there we headed to the Cabrillo monument to soak in the panoramic view overlooking La Jolla/Pacific Beach just as the sun set in the distance. The day flew by as we joined in transparent and authentic conversation about our past, present, and future desires for our lives.
