Our Wedding

Details

Cassidy and Benicio met on her first day of high school at Salesian College Prep. They didn’t start to spend time with one another until they were sat next to each other in Algebra 1 class and became really great friends. From there the friendship grew for over a year and after Cassidy’s dance recital in 2018 they began dating. Since then they have experienced the highs and lows of growing up and have been the best shoulder to cry on and biggest cheerleaders to each other. They have been dating for over six years and they are ready to begin the new journey together.
