Our story begins like all modern day love stories: On the internet.\u00a0 <\/span>We found each other on a dating site (not to be confused with a hook-up site).\u00a0 <\/span>We emailed back and forth a few times before actually setting a time to meet and have a few drinks.\u00a0 <\/span>We never really considered that night to be our first date.\u00a0 <\/span>It was more of a recon fact finding mission.<\/p>\n

How We’ve Met<\/h4>\n

As the night played itself out with a few glasses of our favorite wine (we had the same taste in wine as well), we discovered that not only did we grow up a block from each other, but that Chris was Joe’s paperboy all those years ago!\u00a0 <\/span>We learned that before we met online, our paths in life had crossed inextricably many times over through the years and included some random mutual friends and a few shared memories of the old neighborhood.<\/p>\n

First Date<\/h4>\n

After our first not-first-date, we set a day for our official first date.\u00a0 <\/span>We really hit it off that night, but going on a first date can be nerve wracking.\u00a0 <\/span>It’s not really a first date if it’s the only one.\u00a0 <\/span>We were both pretty sure it would work out and lead to at least a second date but neither of us wanted to put the cart before the horse.\u00a0 <\/span>We were just worried about how we looked (God, my hair looks like a toupee today.); what we were going to wear (Crap. I don’t have any khakis to go with this awesome Yeoman Janice Rand t-shirt.); and how we were groomed (Does he like Drakkar Noir or does he hate it?\u00a0 <\/span>Is that my breath?).<\/p>\n

We finally met up at Cafe Giostra and had a fun and spontaneous evening.\u00a0 <\/span>Little did we know that it was a night that would change our lives for the better forever!<\/p>\n

Engagement<\/h4>\n

One night back in 2010, Chris and Joe went out to Harvey’s restaurant\/bar in San Francisco’s Castro District.\u00a0 <\/span>It was Harvey’s famous Wednesday night trivia quiz show with drag queen guest host, BeBe Sweetbriar.\u00a0 <\/span>Chris had been planning this for months and he was as nervous as a whore in church.\u00a0 <\/span>During the intermission, Chris popped the question to Joseph and after a long, insightful dramatic pause, Joseph said yes!<\/p>\n

Of course, having a drag queen as the host meant that this intimate occasion in the middle of the surrounding chaos became a giant production that included putting them on the spot with a big raucous announcement.\u00a0 <\/span>Neither of them can remember how many people bought them drinks that night or why they woke up the next morning in a dumpster behind City Hall.<\/p>\n

Wedding<\/h4>\n

The wedding planning began in June of 2013 in conjunction with the announcement of the possible appeal of California’s notorious Proposition 8.\u00a0 <\/span>That morning we got up early and made our way to San Francisco to have breakfast at Orphan Andy’s.\u00a0 <\/span>The air was tense as everyone nervously awaited the the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision.\u00a0 <\/span>It was overturned! What a great, liberating feeling to be part of a crowd in one of the most historic moments (for us) in U.S. history.\u00a0 <\/span>With all of that in the rear view mirror, it was time to concentrate on the love and happiness two people can bring to each other through marriage.<\/p>\n

And so the planning began.\u00a0 <\/span>We would both love a big grand wedding with all of our friends and family with plenty of presents, lots of scantily dressed go-go boys for groomsmen, and midget clowns popping out of the cake.\u00a0 <\/span>But alas, we really wanted something a bit more intimate.\u00a0 <\/span>After a couple of awesome and exciting trips down to Cabo San Lucas with our friends, Laura and Sal, we found our place and decided that a destination wedding in Mexico with our closest friends and family was the way to go.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our years of planning have finally come together and on November 11, 2015, we will officially tie the knot and be spouses for life!<\/p>\n
