In 2008, my husband and I moved with our young children to our first home, and Robin and Michael Degtjarewsky were neighbors a few doors down. In a city as large as Los Angeles, there are so many communities with small town vibes because of people like them - welcoming and warm from day one. Robin and I were fast friends and although my family moved about a mile down the road in 2020, we still are very much neighbors. And now, we’re connected in even another way…weddings.
