I’m Vianney and I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Archie since 2019 and Ruben soon after. Archie and I met the same day we became housemates and we were inseparable since then. We watched hours of youtube videos and Grey’s Anatomy and had endless bowls of ramen during lockdown, which only made our bond stronger. Archie was always there for me whether I was spiraling over COVID in January 2020, or writing off love altogether after a disastrous date. Archie showed me a very special type of love in our friendship, that I treasure to this day. I will never forget the day Archie and I stopped by their work casually and “ran into” their sweet coworker Ruben. He was wearing a baseball jersey and a really cool headband. I asked him a million loaded questions about birds and reptiles and he won me over right away. I could see how giddy they made each other and it made me so, so happy. From then on, I had made another cherished friend (a fellow Tijuanense in the house, thank goodness). I watched Ruben overcome incredible challenges like playing The Last of Us and cook up some incredible vegan meals. Truthfully, I was heartbroken when Archie and Ruben moved to Portland, but it only gave me a reason to explore a new city with my friends. I am so grateful for their hospitality, love, and friendship and I am so, so incredibly happy to be celebrating their love in this moment. Love you always, Archie and Ruben!

My name is Nataly 🙂‍↔️I met Ruben during high school. I remember when Ruben first told me about Archie and how locked in he was!!! Fast forward to a couple years and now they’re getting married 🤩
I am so excited to celebrate Archie and Ruben’s love and I look forward to seeing them grow together throughout this next beautiful chapter in their lives alongside their beautiful children (Moonee and Cowboy).

Hello! My name is Alexa Valdes, and I met Archie and Ruben during the earlier part of the pandemic in 2020. Which meant staying home most often, and making or picking up dinners together. Occasionally picking up coffees and teas down the road at s3 coffee bar. After the couple made their move to Oregon, I had the opportunity to visit them a couple of times where we got to see some of our favorite bands, go on nature walks, and spend time with the pups. I'll never forget telling both Archie and Ruben how my flight to PDX was incomplete because ginger ale wasn't available and every time Ruben made a stop during my visit, he picked one up for me. There was not enough time during my visit to finish them all, but I will always cherish the sentiment, and their hospitality. Wishing my dearest friends a life time of love, happiness, growth, and prosperity with each passing year. I am so deeply grateful to share this day with them, and their friends and family. Cheers to Archie and Ruben, and the many memories to come on their wedding day. I love you guys ❤️

Hello! I am Jacob or Jake Morrison. I am one of Archie's brothers and I have the honor of being a part of the bride and groom's wedding party! I met Archie when I was born and from that day on, I have been creating problems and chaos in her life ever since. I can't quite remember when I met Ruben honestly, so let's just say we met on that fateful day, years ago, and I'll let you decide what day that is. I'm looking forward to their wedding because it's not only celebrating the love and commitment of the bride and groom, but also, it's gonna be a fun and exciting night with lots of drinking and dancing and drinking.

Jake

Hello! Hello! My name is Megan Morrison. The newest Morrison as of last November! I am married to Jacob Morrison, the brother of the bride. I remember when Jacob and I first started dating and I met Chloe and I thought she was so cool. She even helped me with my makeup for a school dance and that was very memorable. When Chloe and Ruben first started dating, it felt like they could always light up a room. Some of my favorite memories with Chloe and Ruben are all the family get togethers and the board game nights. Especially for them showing us the game Moose Master! Also, the last family Disneyland trip was so fun! I am most excited to see Ruben cry when Chloe walks down the aisle in her wedding dress.

Megan

My name is Alex Blanco, I am Rubens brother and growing up he has always been my best friend whether we bonded over music or fought over Mario Party stars, I knew that he was always there for me. I can't describe how excited I am for him and Archie's wedding; I am so happy Ruben found a great person to share his life with and I can't wait to see them grow and accomplish amazing things!
