Our Wedding

Allison was bumbling around Bumble, and Jana happened to swipe right on her profile. It was an instant and deep connection. They were apart (after 2 dates) for three months (Jana was in Arizona, and Allison in California) but talked on Facetime for hours every day. After a month of falling for each other, Allison flew to Phoenix and met Jana's parents for our third date!! Jana asked Allison in Arizona to be her girlfriend in May 2022, enjoying bowls of pasta and yummy wine. We each knew the other was our soulmate for life pretty early on and our love blossomed from there. Our love story grew in the summer of 2022, while we merged our worlds seamlessly in San Diego. Some of our favorite things to do together include taking Ella to Coronado dog beach, exploring the beauty of San Diego, playing card games, and spending time together with our family and friends. The future Goldberg family is beyond excited to build a family, cultivate our love through special memories, and grow together in life. XO Jana and Allison (soon to be Goldberg)

Our Story

Photos

Jana and Megan met in 2007 (16 years ago!) at Arizona State University. It was there, that a best friendship was born. Megan is the best friend any girl could have. She is generous beyond belief and as strong as they come. Megan is smart, and witty, often making Jana laugh uncontrollably. They even have matching tattoos, so their friendship is set for life. 

Jana cannot wait to give Megan this special honor and steal her teeth in a nursing home one day.

Jana and Shelley met in their junior year of college, 16 years ago, and hit it off immediately with their weird senses of humor. Many wild nights out, a shared apartment, deep talks about life, and multiple road trips to California brought them even closer. They are able to catch up every time Jana visits Phoenix, and she is a beloved honorary aunt to Shelley’s two daughters, Fiona and Lilah. 

Shelley is as pure and kind as they come.

Kim and Allison have been best friends for fifteen (!!) years! When someone saw one of us, they always knew the other was close by! They did everything together-garden, eat out, shop, craft-and travel! Allison's bonus bestie, JJ, was usually with them as well! Kim is the sweetest, kindest, and most authentic best friend Allison could ever ask for in life. 

One of Allison's favorite memories is cruising to the Bahamas with Kim, her bonus bestie JJ, and Kim's dad! Hurricane Michael was coming in, so the seas were rough to say the least. We had the absolute best time.

Kim used to come into Allison's room and we would vent about our days at school, and laugh at all of the mischief we had found that day. Kim is definitely my sister from another mister.

Where do I start?! Dorma has known Allison for 20 (!!!!) years. Our relationship shifted over the years to a sisterhood. She has seen Allison in her darkest times, my greatest times, and everything in between. Allison has done the same with her. If there was trouble to be found, you can bet we found it.

My favorite thing about Dorma is she forces me out of my shell. One weekend, I didn't feel like leaving the house. She called me up, and told me I was going to a local wine festival. My response? "It'll be sugar crap in lukewarm water! The south shouldn't make wine!" With that, I got, "Get your ass outside in fifteen minutes. I'm coming to get you!"

She may be from the Redneck Heartbeat of America (Cocke County Tennessee-google it-you'll find drama and crimes that'll both make you go wide eyed and laugh hysterically), but she is truly one of the greatest people Allison knows.

Tina and Allison met through an organization called Emmaus. When I met her, she was in one of the darkest periods of her life, and Allison had no idea.

One morning, early in the morning, Allison had the overwhelming urge to Facebook message her. We immediately connected and decided to go out to eat. We sat in that restaurant for five and a half hours before getting kicked out.

Tina is a soul that listens with her heart and not her ears. She feels everything in her heart and in her soul. She is fiercely protective of those that she loves, she would give anyone the shirt off of her back, and she has a smart ass comment for almost any situation.

Tina stands up for what is good, what is right, and what is true. She never backs down from standing up for someone or giving someone the shirt off of her back. She truly is the epitome of a humanist.

Vickie and I met through my parents. We quickly began kindling a sisterhood of good wine, great laughs, and lots of horses!

If there was a definition for kindness, fairness, empathy, compassion, love for everyone, beautiful inside and out-if there was a word AND a definition for that, Vickie would be it.

I admire Vickie's strength and perseverance  during challenging times, her ability to make any celebration that much brighter, and especially I admire the heart that she shares with everyone that she knows and that she meets.

Julie is one of the most emotionally intelligent people I have ever met. She has a perspective unlike anyone else, and she can challenge you to be your very best self. Julie and I bonded over laughs, Brene Brown, sacrastic side comments, and really funny games. She knows when I need a friend even if I don't say anything. She's also quite good at putting me in my place when needed. She is an amazing person and anyone who knows her is blessed. Random sidebit: after we first met, we friended on Facebook. Immediately I got a text asking how I knew Jimmy Leach. Well. He's my cousin. Turns out, she and Jimmy worked on the Escondito Police Force YEARS ago before he moved back to New York.

Emily and Jana met in 2018 working together as Board Certified Behavior Analysts and became close after beach days, bougie dinners out in San Diego and all things silly.  Jana looks forward to seeing Emily and often goes through withdrawals when they spend too much time apart.

Jana's favorite thing about Emily is that they had one blissful summer together where they hung out almost daily!

Emily Moser

Jana and Ana met in 2012 when Jana moved to San Diego. .Jana admires all things about Ana and treasures their time together. Ana helps Jana to be her best self, always. Ana and Jana love getting massages, Korean food and having theoretical conversations about applied behavior analysis. Jana is an honorary auntie to Ana's beautiful daughter, Fern. 

Jana's favorite thing about Ana is that she is brilliant and direct as they come. One of my favorite memories of Ana was when we took a goat (!!!) yoga class together which ended in incredible laughter.  

Dr. Ana Duenas-Futch

Jana met Lauren in 17  years ago when Jana was a high school senior.  After they both moved to San Diego (unplanned and around the same time), they grew a community together under the beautiful California sky. Jana is an honorary auntie to Lauren's beautiful newborn son, Elijah.  Lauren has been there for Jana during the good, the bad and the ugly.

Lauren is an incredible friend, smart as a whip and kind as they come.

Jana and Katie met working together as Board Certified Behavior Analysts in 2014 (9 years ago!), and it was there that Katie became Jana's California best friend. Jana and Katie love making dance videos, hanging with their dogs, and talking about everything under the sun. Jana is an honorary aunt to Katie's cute dogs, Maddie and Brody.  Jana and Katie are way too similar, often thinking with the same brain.

One of Jana's favorite memories with Katie was walking back from Miguel's after a few drinks, singing Jewish melodies, laughing about how similar their childhoods were.  Jana swears she knew Katie in a previous life.
