For those who don’t know our story, Val and I met at our gym. Over time, we got to know each other better through countless early morning hikes, always followed by coffee or breakfast.

Every moment together has been a beautiful adventure from late nights in North Park to unforgettable trips exploring Baja. Some of our favorite memories are of the special moments we’ve shared down south, soaking in the beauty and culture of Valle de Guadalupe.

Life brought us an unexpected and wonderful surprise when we learned we were pregnant. Everything seemed to flow so naturally for us, and our life together continued to blossom year after year. Soon came the purchase of our home and the birth of our second child. I always knew we’d get married, but life kept unfolding in the most amazing ways, and in many ways, it already felt like we were.

Our engagement this June in Yosemite couldn’t have been more magical, especially with Gianna and Bianca there to share in the excitement. Having them be a part of such a special moment made it all the more meaningful.

We love this life we’ve created together and can’t imagine it with anyone else by our side. Now, let’s get married and continue this incredible journey!
