The story
the couple’s elegant summer camp wedding, at Camp Navarro, was a great day in a story that started a long time ago. They both attended the same Elementary, Middle School, High School, and College. But the other partner was 5 years older and so, besides for a 20 second exchange at a college party, they just lived parallel lives.




In their own place
What made this one specific.
8 years passed since their brief encounter. one partner moved back to California and attended the surprise engagement party of an old college friend - and there was the other partner. They talked a lot that night, and the other partner was smitten. He asked her out immediately and, of course, she said no. And so the other partner waited, cool as a cat, and asked her out again, and again, and one partner always said no.
