they met in college. at uc berkley. they love eating good food and watching movies together. they both have a penchant for “V for Vendetta”. he loves her intelligence, she his sense of humor. they both enjoy a cold glass of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. he plays with the hardware of computers, while she sticks more to the coding. she gives up in frustration, while he is up for the challenge and has fun with it. he makes his mom laugh with quotes from Sponge Bob Square Pants. she admires the love between her parents. they love to converse, to dialogue, to think and analyze together. they are different and similar. complimentary. well-suited for each other. and it is clear that they simply love to be together. in the everydayness of life as best friends so often do. i like that.

so alas, i finally got a chance to hang out with jon and julia yesterday and get to know them a bit. i have been waiting for this day for quite sometime because i had yet to meet either of them since they booked me back in october. it was great to finally put a face and person behind all those e-mails. i am very much looking forward to their wedding next weekend down in pasadena. woo-wee.
