Our Story

Once upon a time, Lisa and Joey went on a magical vacation for Lisa's Golden Birthday (turning 27 on the 27th of August). They flew all the way across the country to see what the Golden State had to offer. After a few days at Disneyland and lots of pictures that people were disappointed were not engagement pictures, they drove through the desert to get to San Francisco (because the Pacific Coast Highway had a mudslide and was closed). They checked into their hotel and had a good night's sleep and began to explore the city the next day. Plans went awry when they had to rearrange where they were going to visit first due to protests shutting down The Presidio the following day.&nbsp;So they went to the Walt Disney Family Museum, where Lisa had always wanted to visit, and she spent several&nbsp;hours there, which unbeknownst to her, threw a small wrench in Joey's original plan to visit the Golden Gate Bridge and propose there. So after the museum, they did visit the bridge, but it was cold, windy, and foggy and not at all ideal. Undeterred, Joey brought them to the next spot he had scoped out ahead of time, which was the Palace of Fine Arts Theater. As they walked around, Joey began talking about how this was said to be one of the most romantic spots in SF. And then a naked guy on a bike rode by, yelling about nakedness, completely negating what Joey had previously said. So, he was once again foiled and frustrated Joey and oblivious Lisa went out to eat dinner. The next morning, they woke early to try and catch the first shuttle up to Muir Woods National Monument. Joey was jumpy and kept trying to hurry Lisa along and she was confused but she followed along and they ended up getting on the second shuttle (still very early, might I&nbsp;add). They got to the woods and went hiking up the treetop trail, they stopped for pictures and to enjoy nature and after&nbsp;they had been hiking for awhile, they stopped to rest when they found a bridge overlooking a small stream. As they were resting, Joey began to talk about their relationship and how much he loved Lisa and couldn't imagine being without her and it was then, without any interruptions, he was able to get down on one knee and ask Lisa to marry him. Obviously, she said yes. After tears and some kind strangers who took pictures for them, they continued hiking and then went back to the welcome center, where they supported the local National Parks and Monuments by purchasing a plethora of merchandise to commemorate the occasion. Once they had rejoined civilization, Lisa called everyone she knew needed to know and spread the good news everyone had been waiting for!

Details

Shawn Cruz

Erica has been besties with Lisa since she was born (because Lisa is older!)&nbsp;and has stuck with her, her whole life despite&nbsp;awkward hairstyles and clothing choices (shout-out to you, middle school). She's always had her back and is therefore the perfect person to make sure she doesn't make any rookie mistakes on her wedding day.&nbsp;

Erica Skrivan

Austin Colon

Carmen and Lisa met while being yelled at by guests in Guest Relations over at Epcot. Angry people really have a way of bonding people. While it took a couple months for them to become true friends&nbsp;(I'm sorry, are you Samantha or Carmen?), after they did they quickly became inseparable, even after the punk moved to New York this past year.&nbsp;

Carmen Van Wert

Roy Richardson

Angela aka Angie has been stuck with Lisa since third grade when she transferred to Lisa's elementary school. While they're both a far cry from the chubby cheeked kids we were, those school yard bonds remain strong.

Angela Ki

Ramzy Ghobrail

Claire was Lisa's roommate on her first Disney College Program and never has Lisa been so damn lucky. She provided her with endless nights of laughter, fun, and good old fashioned complaining about their hellish fourth roommate. 

Claire Berger

Victor Salomon

Jessica was Lisa's other roommate on her Disney College Program. Together, they form the unstoppable tripod.&nbsp;Nights of drunken tap dancing cemented her bridesmaid status because how could it not.&nbsp;
