We met in 1997. (Almost 20 years ago!) He asked me to be his girlfriend and it lasted all of 2 weeks. That was a big deal in middle school! I'll never forget how much taller I was compared to him. (I'm happy to report that he has since grown to be several inches taller than me. After high school we both did our separate things. I went to school for a few years and he followed his musical passion and traveled around the country with his friends for almost 3 years! After many lessons learned and broken hearts we reconnected. It was an incredible thing to see this now man (that I had such a huge crush on as a young girl) and feeling the butterflies float around inside me. He made something come alive inside of me that I didnt know existed. We have now been together for over two years and are living together in the adorbable Piedmont area of Oakland. Everyday we share together is a blessing and we now want to take our commitment to each other to the next level but we need your help! We both work VERY hard and have found that even with all the hard work we do, it's still not enough to make our wedding happen! (Living in the Bay Area comes with its fair share of trials, tribulations and expenses.) Together with your help, we can make our dream wedding come true and become a Mr. and Mrs.! We would be forever grateful!

Thank you!
Brooke and JD

Wedding Details:
We hope to hold our ceremony on the West Cliffs of Santa Cruz, CA. Preferrably at the lighthouse but we are open to suggestions! We imagined that it would be at sunset, followed by a reception at a nearby hotel in a banquet room. We would like to reserve rooms in the hotel so our guests could stay the night and not drive over the hill after celebrating with us!  We are very mellow and our celebration would be low key and fun! We are very excited to share this special time with all of our loved ones and thank you again for your contribution!
