We met at work, you know, like most people do nowadays! Anywhoo, love blossomed after a friendship of quasi dates with Claudia's sister, Gerald's friends and lots of trips to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles (just one of the fine dining options).
Fast forward 13 years later, a couple of godchildren under our belt, fun times, and lots of good memories, we love to make each other laugh whether it be at the expense of one another or just simply by goofing off.
We're very deep thinkers and here are a couple of people that we love to quote and live by to make our relationship work:
"You Better Work!" -Ru Paul and "Make it work!" -Tim Gunn
On Friday, June 26, 2009 we tied the knot at the San Francisco courthouse since San Francisco is Claudia's hometown. A deal was made sometime ago, SF and LA would need to be celebrated equally.
We decided to do the same one year later on Saturday, June 26, 2010 but this time, we would love to have you as our witnesses.
Our wedding ceremony will begin at St. Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic Church at 2:30PM. Address as follows:
St. Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic Church
1879 North Lake Avenue

Hello,
Thank you for visiting our site.
Yes, we're an old couple and by June of 2010, we will be celebrating our 1st year of marriage and our 13th year of being together. Many of you might think "Finally" but for us, it truly does feel like this is how it was meant to be.
If we had any wish, it will be to have a great time, drink up, eat well and dance, dance, dance. Gerald has some sweet moves!
We hope to see you there!
With love,
Claudia & Gerald
