From the bride... "Alex and I met when I was living in New Orleans and he was in San Diego. My best friend from college set us up on a blind date when I was in Orange County for work training. I took the train all by myself down to San Diego, and our first date turned into three days in a row of a first date. We fell in love extremely fast after that, traveling every chance we could to be together. It felt as if we had never not known each other from the first date on. 10 months later I made the move to San Diego and Alex proposed within the month when we were skiing in Aspen with my family over the holidays."

"Although baseball teams will never be something they agree on, Jason’s St. Louis Cardinals hat is what started a conversation one breezy Sunday, beachside in Hermosa. His midwestern charm was something that immediately caught Aimee’s attention. He was a sucker for brown eyes, and it was uncanny how much they shared in common. Family, friends, travel, and careers sparked an immediate connection. Encouraged by his friend, Jason asked for Aimee’s number, stating he’d like to grab coffee to talk more about their work backgrounds and opportunities. When Aimee received a text from an unknown number that said “Hello Beautiful”, she had a sneaking suspicion of who the author was, and excitedly realized this wasn’t work-related."
