Jean & David

How we met - His Story

I was living in San Francisco at the time and I came down to visit on 10/3/2014. I went to Wolf & Crane for Stella's birthday gathering and I saw my beautiful Jean out yonder. I pointed at her and signaled her to come hither. I told her my usual really hilarious jokes and she laughed and laughed and laughed. She was clearly digging the gums. She even did the whole hitting my arm thing practically screaming, "you're the funniest guy I've ever met in my entire life" and of course she felt the guns and realized I wasn't just funny, but that my body was no accident.

Surpisingly, we really hit it off and her patience to my ridiculous sense of humor and her beautiful smile and genuine kindness made me so happy. And I realized that I must move back to LA. With random confidence I told her, "We're going to go on three dates and you're going to fall in love with me..." And HA! It actually worked! After driving/flying from SF to LA every 2 weeks and Facetiming everyday in between we made it through 7 months of long distance. Finally we were living in the same city playing, eating, and laughing together every day. And to this day I still get the same joy and excitement anticipating our day's first hug and sweet little kisses.

How we REALLY met - Her Story

So what really happened was… David couldn’t even remember my name most of the night. He kept mixing up my name with Julie’s and acted as if it was intentional (granted I was calling him “John” half the night hehe). He asked me the most bizarre questions, like “what do you rate yourself 1 out of 10?” My answer was 12. Or I’d ask him what he did for a living and he’d answer with “I make money. Why? Do you want some?” But for whatever reason, I thought he was hilarious. Cocky. But hilarious. He didn’t even ask me for my number that night, which I found kind of refreshing.

Little did I know, I had met the most generous and un-cocky guy ever that night. As we started to facetime more and more, I could see how genuine and lovable he was. I found myself coming home excited to facetime with this almost stranger. He started calling me “his girl” and said I’d fall in love with him after 3 dates which I thought was RIDICULOUS, but I guess he was right. I feel like he brainwashed me.. heh jk.

David has really opened my eyes to the beauties of this world. My soul is so intensely drawn to his and I don't know what I'd do without him. Our friends will testify that we can't go a day without seeing each other, and I'm pretty sure they'd like to throw up on our faces. Sorry guys! I knew I wanted to marry him since our third date, so I will mention that I asked him to marry me first. He got annoyed and proposed to me 3 months after. But anyway, the rest is history.
