Our Story

(according to ChatGPT)

William and Natalie both hail from Chicago’s North Shore, but fate had other plans before bringing them together, namely, sending them to sunny San Diego. That’s where they first met, slinging seafood and shucking oysters side by side on India Street.

While sparks didn’t fly right away (unless you count flying oyster shells), they became fast friends…and eventually, something more. Years later, love won out, and so did the Midwest. They’ve since returned to Chicago, where they now share a cozy life and an opinionated cat named Leon, who definitely runs the household.

They can’t wait to celebrate with you, and promise not to make you shuck oysters (unless you really want to).
