Our Story

Our story is a beautiful tapestry of chance encounters and shared paths, intricately connected in the mosaic of life. Unbeknownst to us, Casey and I had been crossing paths for years, present at the same events but never quite connecting. Our lives, rich with coincidental crossings, seemed to be navigating an invisible maze that inevitably led us to each other.

 

The moment our paths truly intertwined was when Casey, a native of Virginia living in Arizona at the time, invited me to speak at his event in Arizona. This marked the start of our conscious connection, transforming parallel journeys into a shared adventure. 

 

Our transition from acquaintances to friends was as natural as it was profound. When Casey visited Los Angeles for a podcast, he invited me to join him, and it was there that our friendship blossomed. Over the next eight months, we discovered the joys of a deep, platonic bond, filled with laughter and meaningful conversations. 

 

A ski trip organized by my brother Alex brought an unexpected twist to our tale. Amidst the snowy landscape, Casey shared a memory of a kiss – a moment that had escaped my memory, perhaps lost in the revelry of the night before. This playful revelation, though initially surprising, seemed to fit perfectly into our unfolding story. 

 

Returning to Los Angeles, a game of "We're Not Really Strangers" brought another significant moment. Casey's question from a wild card, "Will you kiss me?" led to a memorable and real kiss, unlike the one on the mountain, marking the beginning of our romantic journey. 

 

As our relationship flourished, we learned to cherish the foundation of friendship it was built on. And then came a humorous revelation – six months into dating, I discovered that the mountain kiss, the supposed catalyst of our romance, never actually happened. This forgotten joke added a layer of whimsy to our love story, a testament to the unpredictable nature of love. 

 

Now, as we build our life together in California, we look back at the serendipitous moments that led us here, grateful for every crossed path and shared laugh.
