The short version
Two people, a long story, a lot of feelings.
John grew up where the corn grows tall. Erika grew up where the waves come in. Somehow, they ended up in the same kitchen, eating the same musubi, agreeing on most things and arguing about which state has the best pie.
- The proposal — happened at the lake, by accident, slightly damp, and entirely on plan (for one of them).
- The dress code — TBD, but definitely sandal-adjacent. Bring a layer. Bring a snack.
- The food — a friendly collision of Spam musubi, sweet corn, kālua pig, and a hotdish someone's aunt insists on bringing.
