Aimee had been living in Seattle for only two years, while Sal was still in the process of moving from Southern California to the Pacific Northwest. Neither one expected to end up in Seattle, both were brought here by twists of fate. Aimee relocated for an unexpected job opportunity, meanwhile Sal ended up discovering Seattle after a road trip was rerouted due to weather. This aspect of their origin story has them convinced that their meeting was destiny.

The rest was essentially history. Aimee and Sal grew in their partnership and love together while enjoying everything Seattle has to offer through mutual hobbies - art, music, nature, and good food.

Five years later, on November 16th 2025, Sal proposed to Aimee at the top of the Space Needle after a dinner at the Loupe Lounge. The proposal was followed by a special visit to the site of their first date, the Queen Anne Beer Hall.
