Our Story
The year is 2010. Phones still have buttons. Stephanie shops almost exclusively at American Apparel and track-jacket-cladded Jon has spiky hair. They meet for the first time, three times.
These respectable meetings were not entirely serendipitous but in fact took the unknowing help of two separate sets of mutual friends (and a shared rib at Daisy Mae’s) to connect the dots that were Stephanie and Jon. And the rest is history, as they say.
Over the course of eleven years, a happy-hour-going duo turned actual-romantic-courtship witnessed:
With age and time, like fine wine, they grew alongside each other and blossomed a life shared together. And finally in December of 2021 in Sea Ranch, California, next to the ocean and under the sun and over a small picnic, Stephanie and Jon tearily said yes to forever.
To everyone who’s known us since Time #1 to our recent years—and across our lives in between—we are honored, grateful, and excited to celebrate our long love with you.

Time #2: Out at a Bachelor Party

Over the course of eleven years, a happy-hour-going duo turned actual-romantic-courtship witnessed:
263 at-work email conversations,
one 1-on-1 karaoke date,
five respective New York apartments,
four months cohabitating in Brooklyn,
3000 miles of move to Los Angeles,
two-plus years through a pandemic,
500 square feet of bungalow,
with infinite hours of laughter,
and much, much,
more
life
in
between.
