Lil Bit About Us

How did you first meet?

One winter night...I (Courtney) convinced my friend, Krysta, to introduce me to her boyfriend's Australian friend, Jesse (you follow all of that?). Basically, Krysta told me that Jordan had a cute single friend with an accent...and you can't turn that down, right ladies? So I asked Krysta to work on a little introduction.

Jump to the center of hearts colliding, the ever-romantic, ever-lovely: Tupelo. (For those not familiar with the SF staple: it's a dark, dingy dive bar with loud music where you can't hear/talk to anyone.) You know, what romance novels and teenage dreams are made of. Still with me? No? That's ok...read on.

Nothing eventful happened the night we met, thanks to Jesse's "shy nature" (aka slight awkwardness and disinterest in pursuing a friend of his employee). You see, Jesse had just been promoted at work (he smart), which subsequently made him Jordan's boss. Trying not to blur the lines, he avoided me like the plague.

Thankfully, I'm not one to turn down a challenge, so I eventually wore him down enough to make a move...(please proceed to the next question).

Who made the first move? How?

Drum roll...She did. By making sure plenty of drinks were had — aka trying to blur his sense of work boundaries so that he would actually talk to me. And hey, it worked! Perseverance, guys, perseverance.

After a month-long pursuit we were back at the scene of the crime, Tupelo. Where we finally shared a tipsy kiss. And both of us are too stubborn (and don't really remember) to admit who kissed who. So we'll just leave it at that...a love story of the ages!

Where are you going for your honeymoon?

Greece and Croatia. Beaches in Europe...revolutionary, where no honeymooner has gone before!

What's your favorite activity together?

Eating. Or doing something with our dogs. Or eating with our dogs, if we want the all-inclusive package.

What's the best meal you have eaten together?

Oh man, asking us the hard hitting questions! As you can tell from the last question, we take eating very seriously — often planning whole days or nights around food. So there might be too many to count, but any meal that leaves us unbuttoning our pants after is great in our book.

Travel

Plane

Getting To SF

We recommend flying into either San Francisco International Airport (SFO) or San Jose International Airport (SJC)! Depending on where you're coming from, SFO might be a little cheaper to fly into, but SJC is closer to Los Gatos.

Car

Getting Down to Los Gatos

There a few ways to get to Los Gatos. We recommend either renting a car (there are a ton of options from the airport) or taking Uber/Lyft. From SFO, Uber/Lyft will most likely cost around $50-60, and from SJC, around $20-30.

Note

Fall is high wedding season in California. Please make your arrangements as soon as possible for the best rates and availability.
