Wedding Date on May 1, 2021

How did you two meet? We met in LA, December 2014 <3 I was a year and a half out of college (Cal Poly SLO) living in West Hollywood and Austin was 6 months out of college (Colorado School of Mines) and had just moved to Long Beach to work on the offshore rig there. A mutual friend knew Austin didn't know anyone and suggested I invite him over to hang out and meet new people. So happy I did! Tell me about your first date! I had a few friends coming over one Saturday night to go out and invited Austin. Prepping for that night, standing in the beer section at Ralphs, we had our first phone call. I called and asked Austin "what kind of beer do you like?" to which he responded "Cold beer?" We still laugh about that phone call to this day! Austin came over that night, a little early honestly lol, and I laid out some charcuterie snacks while we chatted and he raved about a Europe trip he took after graduation earlier that year. My other coworkers/friends showed up and Austin became the 5th wheel. A couple of hours and a couple of bars later, it was basically a done deal for the two of us. He came on STRONG after that night and I was scared at how much I liked him. I basically started ghosting him (which he nevers lets me forget) and on a day about two weeks later when we had made plans to hang out I had a series of crazy events happened (my tires got randomly slashed - so LA) and I just didn't text him back. He drove up from Long Beach and showed up unannounced at my apartment, with a bottle of red wine--full male in a RomCom moment--giving me all the butterflies and calming every nerve I had about how much we were into each other. He says that was the most insane and out of character thing he's ever done but he wouldn't change that he did it neither would I <3
