It was a day full of anticipation. After a 5am hike up the Marin headlands, we settled down on our blanket, alone but for our picnic. Slowly, the sun rose and melted the fog, revealing the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and, eventually, SF. This is the story of the most special day of my life.

One late October day, our two CG's were heading to lunch after church, and it was raining. He shared his umbrella with me, I shared my number with him, and we shared our first date together 4 days later. This is that story.
