About Jennifer & Tom

Jennifer

Jennifer Emerson[1] (born September 1st, 1980), better known by her "The Cupcake Lady", is a baker, business owner, and all-around awesome gal. Born in San Jose, California, and raised by geeky engineer parents, Jennifer made the obvious move to become a teacher. After paying her penance as a middle school English teacher, she made the easier-than-you-could-possibly-imagine decision to own her own business instead. We know what you're thinking - the answer is YES, there will be cupcakes at the wedding. Also she loves that guy, "Tom".

Tom

Tom Longson[1] (born November 26th, 1981), is a programmer, artist, and explorer. He moved to Berkeley in 2009 to pursue the bay area dream. He fantasized about meeting a clever smart woman, but Jennifer exceeded his expectations, and he quickly moved from his East Bay bachelor pad into a Bernal Heights apartment. He has an extensive collection of dancing kittens and purple sunglasses.

Jen + Tom = Awesomesauce

Together the couple have had a string of victories, which include fitting two full homes of stuff into one tiny San Francisco apartment, bringing back Unicorns from extinction, visiting their "weekend home" in Santa Rosa (read: best friend's house!) on a regular basis, bringing down the Berlin Wall, and raising their healthy fur kid, C. Esquire the 1st (Charlie).
