Our Wedding

<p>Hello there. We are sure you are all wondering how our love story began. Well, in todays age of modern and online dating, the Hinge dating site led us to find each other on June 1st, 2023 and it was truly the best thing to ever happen to us and has brought us to where we are now. When we first saw each others profile and had our first chat with each other, we knew there was a deep connection already. Our first conversations were about Disney and Star Wars. Something we both love and could talk about for hours. After a few days, we exchanged phone numbers, and the talks kept getting better and better. When we had our first talk on the phone, we felt so much peace and happiness in each others voices. I remember having the biggest smile when I heard Ambers voice for the first time, and she said the same thing when she heard mine. The next weekend, we had our first official date at Fishermens Village. I will never forget the amazing feeling I had when I saw Amber for the first time. We were instantly drawn to each. The connection was unlike anything we had ever felt before. We both knew right then that we were made for each other and that this was just the beginning of our wonderful and bright love story. It was the best first date we had ever experienced. <br>As time went on, we grew closer and closer. We have also been able to share many wonderful Disney trips together, which is something we both love and cherish.  This ultimately is where I popped the question and asked Amber to marry me on September 22nd ,2024. Meeting Amber was like coming home to my one and only true love. We help each other grow into better people. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that soul mates are real and we are each others soul mates. We cant wait to be married and start this amazing journey of marriage together.</p>

Jessica is the dazzling queen of bling and the ultimate jack of all trades! Whether it’s organizing, styling, or saving the day, she does it all—with sparkle and flair to spare! ♥️

Jessica

This is my brother from another mother and my Power Ranger bro for life. Frank is someone who will make an entire room laugh and smile. Our brotherhood is so strong and nothing short of awesome, and I am thrilled to have him as my Best Man.

Tammy is someone whose heart is as big as her love for all things Stitch—our Disney-loving, fun-spirited bridesmaid! Just like Stitch, she’s loyal, a little mischievous, and full of love for her ‘ohana.

Tammy

Luz is one of our lovely bridesmaids that brings a touch of fun and flair to the wedding party with her love for anime. Her vibrant energy and creative spirit are as unforgettable as her favorite characters!

Creative and full of flair, Kendall brings a unique sparkle to every moment. From handmade touches to brilliant ideas, she adds beauty and originality to everything she does! 

Kendall

My high school best friend of nearly 17 years. We have been through a lot in life, and you have always been there for me as my brother. He is someone I could always count on to be there for me when I  needed it. Much love to you, brother.

Jeremy 

My brother, but more often, we are called twins 😆 because we are so alike and enjoy so much of the same things. Evan is someone who always shows his kindness and friendship to anyone who needs a friend or even encouragement. Proud to have you as a groomsmen and brother.

Evan 

You are my brother for life. We have so many  great and funny memories together growing up. Especially riding Back to the Future at Universal. 😆  I'm so happy to have you as my groomsmen

Devin isn’t just the man officiating this wedding—he’s also my best friend’s husband, which means he’s basically family. Known for his calm presence and genuine kindness, he has a way of making everyone feel at ease... right before hitting you with a perfectly timed sarcastic comment. Equal parts respectful and smart-ass (in the best possible way), he always means well, keeps it real, and somehow manages to be both heartfelt and hilarious—which is exactly why we know he is the man to marry us.
