Pongo’s Story
Born in trailer #93 in Manhattan, KS, colloquially known as “The Little Apple”, Pongo loves long walks on the beach, long walks on the farm, long walks in town, long walks anywhere you are. If you see 5,000 tennis balls on the registry, you know who did it.
Our Story
Shaida and Joe met in 2012 in the Humanities building on UCLA’s campus. They connected about The Clash, their matching Snoopies and old movies. After a few will-they-or-won’t-they years, they started dating in 2016. February 2026 marks their 10 year anniversary filled with great times living on the west coast, east coast, and in Missouri for 3 years. They probably haven’t mentioned this, but they also have two dogs.
Drum’s Story
Long Beach-born, Sherman Oaks-raised, Farm-lived, Food-obsessed, Aggressive-leashed, the beast from Long Beach known as Drum Primm will take on triple duties as flower girl and pastor and food tester, as well as already voted most likely to tip over one of the tables on wedding day.
