One night, at a mutual hangout with friends, the building’s fire alarm went off. Though they had only recently met, Case stayed right by Mandy’s side as they evacuated the building.

Thankfully, they were […]

Southern California couple, Jordan & Bobby, are getting married this fall in Napa Valley.
