Our Wedding

In March 2022, on a VERY windy rooftop bar somewhere in Glendale CA, Paul met Katrina for the very first time. It seemed promising, that two people would emerge from the post pandemic online dating scene and find each other worthy of a second, and indeed, third date! From the start, the two intrigued each other, and began a natural and easy courtship filled with camping trips, theater shows, museum visits, new friends, and of course....cats. Nearly three years to the day of that first date, Paul popped the proverbial question in the forested environs of LAs Griffith Park, much to Katrina's surprise. Each now look forward to sharing the rest of their lives together as Husband and Wife.

It includes an outdoor pool, and a 24 hour fitness center. The rooms are $233.22 per night which includes all tax and fees.
