Our Love Story

For 5 years Alex and Angelica would bump into each other at the airport when Angelica was flying out. What they did not know was that they were perfect for each other, it just wasn’t their time yet. It would not be until January 2015 that they reconnected on the internet. For weeks they talked day and night about pretty much everything, Alex wanted to meet and hangout but Angelica was stalling because she was in the hospital. It was not until early February that Angelica would tell Alex and he was the absolute sweetest and was so concerned and wanting to visit.

Timing is Everything... 

&nbsp;The day everything changed. Angelica finally&nbsp;told Alex which hospital she was at and he came right away to see her. When he walked into the hospital room, he brought these beautiful flowers and sat down right beside her. They talked for hours and even took a nap because Angelica was tired from medicine and Alex was tired from work. Alex was so amazing and helped Angelica get up from bed to use the restroom and made sure she did not fall with her walker and machines. When he left, they just texted some more.&nbsp;That day Angelica knew Alex was the one she was going to marry.&nbsp; When a nurse came in and asked who Alex was, Angelica said she did not know what their titles were beyond friends right now, but she told the nurse that she felt safe with Alex and that she felt like he was the one. The nurse told her, maybe he is.&nbsp; Later that month- After Angelica was released from the hospital&nbsp;Alex asked Angelica to be his girlfriend and of course she said yes. Alex and Angelica spent every moment that they could... together. He was amazing in making sure that she was at all her doctors appointments and would&nbsp;take her on&nbsp;walks to regain strength in her legs. They went on little dates here and there and were falling in love with one another.&nbsp;

​February 15, 2015

April 2015- Alex tells Angelica he loves her... they were together hanging out one night and he first said it in sign language. When Angelica first saw him do it, she was shocked and happy. Shortly after, Angelica also told him she loved him.&nbsp;

The First I Love You

May 2015-May 2018... For three amazing years, these two love birds were having amazing experiences and making so many memories. They supported each others thoughts and dreams. They knew that they had a future together.&nbsp;They talked about getting married but Angelica asked for the proposal to be a surprise, she did not want to know about any of the details.

 



THE PROPOSAL 

June 2018- Alex found out he was starting his new job in early July and told Angelica that he wanted to take her on a getaway. He chose La Jolla, California. So on June 29, 2018 they drove to La Jolla, they were on the beach and were having an amazing time together. Little did Angelica know the next day something magical was going to happen.

Relationship Bliss

They went to breakfast and had an amazing view of the beach, watching birds steal people's breakfast. They then went to the beach, it was Alex's first time going into the ocean so it was an amazing experience together. Alex said that they should go to a nice dinner that night so they put on their fancy clothes and went to a beautiful restaurant. Angelica did not quite understand why Alex was stressing out about making it to watch the sunset, but they made it and watched it set. It was the most amazing and beautiful experience. Angelica then turned her head and saw Alex on one knee, he had the ring box out and said, "Angelica, Will you marry me"? While a group of people started surrounding them and clapping, Angelica was Kim K ugly crying and said, "Really"? about a million times before she finally said YES! The rest of the night is history, but to say the least, after that moment they became 1000 times happier than they were before, and they cannot wait to begin this new chapter as husband and wife.

The Day Alex decided to pop the BIG question..

Invitations

When should I expect my invitation?

We will be sending out the formal invitations in Early September.&nbsp;

No, with so many out of&nbsp; town guests we wanted to send a Save the Date so that everyone could make arrangements to attend our special occasion.

Guest List

Are kids welcome?

We love all of your children, however, due to the liability and space&nbsp;we have decided to make this an ADULT ONLY affair. The only children permitted are those in&nbsp;the wedding party. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact Angelica at the email listed below.

Due to occupancy numbers, we can only accommodate guests formally invited on your wedding&nbsp;invitation.&nbsp;Please feel free to contact Angelica&nbsp;with any questions.

Can We Take Pictures Throughout The Ceremony?

Unfortunately no.&nbsp;We have decided to do an unplugged ceremony. Which means no technology devices should be used during the ceremony. Our ceremony will not&nbsp;be long and we want you to be fully present&nbsp;for our special moment. Do not worry,&nbsp;we have hired a professional photographer and videographer who do not&nbsp;mind sharing their work with you at a later date. During the reception you can take as many photos or videos you would like.&nbsp;

The ceremony will be held outside in the courtyard the Emerald at Queensridge, weather permitting. Please check your formal invitation for venue address

The&nbsp;dress code is semiformal/cocktail attire. Please do not wear casual clothes. It is going to be a special day/night so dress to impress.

What is Semi Formal/ Cocktail Attire?

This is slightly less formal than black tie and black tie optional, which means no tux required for men and no floor-length gown required for women (unless you'd like to wear a long dress).&nbsp;Because the event is in the evening you might want to lean towards the darker color hues.

What Should He Wear?

Slacks and a dress shirt or a&nbsp;suit and tie. Lean toward darker hues in chillier months.

What Should She Wear?

A cocktail dress&nbsp;or dressy suit or jumpsuit&nbsp;or a dressy skirt and top.

Will I have to walk in the grass?

No! We will be spending our time in the courtyard for the ceremony and will be in the ballroom for the reception.

Yes. The parking lot at the venue is large enough to accommodate our guests.&nbsp;
