Our Story? So you really want to know.... Close your eyes... well don't really do that. You need those to read.
It all started in a magical place called, "The Peninsula" (aka Newport Beach). Augie started the day drinking Mai Tai's with friends on the pier. Atosa on the other hand was part of what you would call a bachelorette party (aka, "find handsome studs to buy drinks for you" party). What happened next was something Straight Out of Compton (no, that's a lie). The bar? Beach Ball (make sure you click the blue links!). The Setting? Picturesque.
The sun was falling over the Pacific, everything had a golden hue, seagulls floated by, and ham & cheese croissants were being made around the corner. Augie was standing at the juke box picking his favorite tunes. The Song? Jungleland by Bruce Springsteen, in walked in a group of ladies dressed to the nine. Augie looked to his right, and a woman in a teal dress walked through the door. He said in his brain, "Imma' marry that girl." Atosa on the other hand didn't even notice him. Flash forward 20 minutes later and Atosa is giving her number to Augie's friend (he's not gonna' be at the wedding). After some time, Augie finally gathered the courage to approach her and made a complete fool out of himself. After chasing her from bar to bar all night, she gave him the golden ticket (no not her virginity you weirdos, her phone number). Thankfully, he had made Atosa's friend laugh and she vouched for his handsomeness and his humor. Augie finished by texting her, "I'll catch you on the flip side." She cringed. They never spoke again.
Just kidding. But she really did cringe.
Over two weeks, their relationship blossomed over text messages and funny innuendos relating to the Little Mermaid, The Sandlot, and most importantly Dumb & Dumber. Throw in there a niece being born (Raylan), and finally the day came when they went on their first "date." Now this date wasn't like any other date. In this day and age you have to be tech savvy to pull in a fine woman like Atosa. So Augie asked her a simple question, "If I wore a baby blue suit to our first date what would you wear?" Her answer was swift like the wind, "Bright orange, but my dog mobile is in the shop." So Augie did what he knew best and started a Facebook event asking her out on their first date. Guests invited? One. Accepted? One. This was what they wore.
