Our Wedding

In a twist of fate back in March 2010, a university encounter straight out of a rom-com unfolded. Picture this: Andrew, aka Archer, stoically manning the security post, while I was knee-deep in event planning at our university in Ashland, OR. Despite my bashfulness, his smile was like a magnetic force. Cue the giggles, the awkward-yet-charming chats, and banter that lasted until the wee hours. And just like that, we became an unstoppable duo! From people-watching at Churchill Hall to gaming marathons, gorging on meats and cheeses, and leisurely strolls in Garfield Park - we did it all. Fast forward 14 years, and here we are, Archer and I (Scare Bear), basking in Long Beach's sunny vibes, a slice of SoCal paradise. With our mischievous furry companions, Willowfur and his older brother Starburst, and an awesome crew of friends and family, we're revving up for our big day. Stay tuned for more deets on the upcoming festivities - we can't wait to party with all of you!
