Registry

Ariel and Angel were both juggling school and full-time jobs, like most busy twenty-somethings. Little did they know, fate had a fun surprise waiting for them! One Friday night, Ariel’s friend invited her to an indoor soccer game in La Mesa. It was supposed to be a casual outing, but when Ariel met Angel, she thought he was cute and kept her eyes on him the entire game. After the match, everyone went their separate ways. The next day, Ariel said" Okay, how are we going to hang out with them today?” she asked her friend. Ariel went to work, and by the time her shift ended, things were already falling into place. She got an invite for a spontaneous night of bowling. Ariel, Angel, and some other friends ended up at Manalo grocery store first, and that’s where the fun began. Angel was just buying juice, but the playful banter between Ariel and Angel started right there in the aisles. Afterward, they all went bowling. Both were a little nervous, but Angel took the opportunity to sit closer to Ariel, inching his way down the lane. They laughed, and joked, though they were both a little shy. When the night wrapped up, Angel ended up driving everyone home. But instead of saying goodbye, he and Ariel ended up talking for hours in his car. They didn’t want the conversation to end, so they exchanged phone numbers and social media info. From there, their texting continued—good morning, good night, and everything in between. A few weeks later, after a few more dates, Angel planned a special outing—a hike around Mt. Helix. As they reached the top, Angel turned to Ariel and asked her the big question: “Will you be my girlfriend?” Ariel said yes, and from that moment on, things just clicked. Within the same week, Ariel met Angel’s family during his parents’ wedding anniversary celebration. It was the perfect introduction to his world, and from there, the couple’s bond only grew stronger. What started as a casual soccer outing turned into something beautiful, and neither Ariel nor Angel could have imagined just how perfect their lives would become when they met each other.
