We met on a cool December morning in San Francisco, Anna was starving and Ross picked a perfect, scrumptuous spot to meet up for a bite. Word must've gotten out about this great place, as the wait was so long, we ended up ducking into a salty dog next door, a local watering hole. That's how it all started, over a classic Bloody Mary made from scratch *insert chef's kiss*. Smiling and talking non-stop from that morning on, our first date ended as the sun was setting.

Was love in the air? Yes, yes it was...

Our relationship quickly progressed, meeting each other's friends and family in the next few holiday weeks.

At the start of the 2020 new year, we realized we'd become an item. Ross loved being around Anna's bubbliness and warmth, and Anna loved being around Ross' adventurism and grounding disposition.

Then, came Covid. What's a budding romance without a pandemic?

Enter the Romance of a Quarantine. After settling in, and having a blast as a population of two, cooking together, watching movies, remotely working, we decided to venture out. Nature was our playground, we set out on memorable escapades near, far, and wide.

We discovered during quarantining how much we loved to experience new things and travel together. Once the country opened up again, our passions remained the same, the borders just got bigger. Our party of two also expanded, with the addition of being able to spend time with friends and family. We've moved many times, adopted two sweet dog friends, bought a house and look forward to what the future has in store.

Can't wait to see you on at our wedding!

Truly,

Anna & Ross
