At a Christmas party in 2008, Joe decided he was going to get up the courage to talk to the most beautiful girl in the room. He scanned the room and locked eyes with Claudia and then spent the next fifteen minutes deciding what he was going to say to her. Claudia told me she noticed him the moment he walked in the door. It was the unexpected. Claudia & Joe didn't work together--and this was a work party; Joe was a last minute plus one for a friend. You never know when love will strike!

Claudia & Joe recently moved back to the Bay Area from NYC and into their new home. This beautiful empty space was the perfect spot to get cozy and break the ice together. (And I love bare walls & hardwood. And we had the Giants on. And it was raining.) These two lovebirds are getting married this weekend!
