From the bride... "Cameron and I met working at Califia Farms, but shortly after Cameron joined I moved to North Carolina but before I left Cameron asked me on our first date. He then chased me all the way to North Carolina for our second date and the rest is history. We dated long distance for a year and a half before I quit my job, moved back to LA, and now we're getting married."

From the groom... "The night Ariela and I met was a Friday on January 16th 2015. Even though that was not our first actual date, we have kept it as our relationship anniversary date since it truly is the night we begun a relationship. I went to a friends social gathering in her apartment even though I was initially reluctant. It was an after-dinner gathering and I was exhausted. I sat in that room for about 25 minutes hating myself for making the decision to come. I didn’t know anyone and the room was full of guys who would imitate the accent after we exchanged pleasantries. I got up to leave. Upon taking my last drink before leaving, I see these two girls walk in. One a tall blonde, the other completely covered head to toe in winter gear with only her eyes on show. Naturally I gravitated towards the human mailbox. I noticed she had sat down on the couch I was on before.. I saw that as an opener. Unfortunately however I noticed she had also started talking to some other guy... Game on. I sat down beside the guy, right in between him and Ariela actually. I started talking to him so as to take his attention of Ariela.. after a bit of small talk (and tactfully with my back to Ariela this whole time) I turned around and introduced myself to Ariela and her friend. The next few moments of that conversation can only be described as revelatory. Each exchange was peppered with a healthy dose of sarcasm, wit and banter. It was my ideal environment. Pretty much the only type of conversation I feel comfortable in actually. As we spoke more and as she realized that we were inside a building with central heating, she started to remove her outer-winter clothing. Once the hat and scarf were off I realized I was talking to someone far out of my league. Any comfort I had in the prior conversations ran away from me and I was left speechless. Conversely, I also realized I wasn’t going to let this opportunity run away so survival instinct kicked in and I wasn’t going home until we had a date. As I walked her back to her apartment I learnt that her dream was to move to LA and work in Hollywood. I’d met my Cinderella. A fellow dreamer. Except, with this one, her dreams were her goals, not her fantasies. I was hooked. Ariela's perspective: It all started when my roomate told me she was dreading going to some Friday night dinner party but promised her friend she’d show. Being the incredibly giving selfless lady I am, I offered to walk with her there and after some time be her “excuse to leave”. I walked in and immediately regretted it, being the outgoing introvert I am, I realized I had not fully recharged from the exhausting week I had just endured and really wished I had stayed home to eat frozen gushers. New faces, stranger conversations, but then.. a tall red headed boy. In the far right corner of that room. Tall. Handsome and by his biting of the edge of his cup, I now knew we shared similar sentiments towards this social engagement/predicament we were in. But I also knew, I was gonna get a date with that boy by the end of the night. But what’s the fun without a little chase? A tactful walk by him and to the couch I went where I’d find someone to engage with until that boy would come find me. (I’d hoped). 10 minutes into a very forced conversation.. Tall handsome man arrived. However, when he sat down between me and the other guy, I was bewildered to find him turn his back to me and cut me out of the dialogue.. but no, he had a plan all along ... a quick 360 the other way and a “hi I’m joel what’s your name,” he had my full attention, and I knew I was talking to my future husband."
