Our Wedding

CHAPTER 1 | WHO ASKED THE FIRST QUESTION… | MAY 2025 OUR STORY… Once upon a time… in a land far, but not too far away, a glamorous friend wanted to celebrate his 40th Birthday in Puerto Vallarta. Can you guess who this friend is? None other than the one responsible for the start of a love story. It was not love at first sight, for neither Jason nor I were thinking of a relationship, so we thought. For those of you who still need to learn more about Jason, let me tell you a little about this incredible man. Upon arriving to the condo in Puerto Vallarta, Jason quickly welcomes me to the condo and offers all the refreshments in the refrigerator along with all the snacks available for the trip. He shows me to the room I would be staying in and shares that he would be sleeping on the couch. My first thought was, “Thats very nice of him.” Little did I know, Jason loves sleeping on couches. Of course, being the gentleman that I can be, I refused to take the room if he would be staying on the couch. But this was not our meet cute. It was just two guys being their friendly selves. During this trip, Jason and I kept gravitating towards each other. I would not say we were pursuing each other, but I will say we were enjoying our conversations to the point that we zoned out all others. At the 40th Birthday dinner (as you can see above), everyone was having a fabulous time, but eventually we all had to go. As the rest of our friends were getting up and leaving, Jason and I found ourselves left alone at the table just chatting the night away. Still not our meet cute, nor were we thinking much of it. Just enjoying a nice conversation. One of our friends did ask, “What is going on there?” As luck would have it, Jason had to fly back for a new job on February 14th. Was it Cupid at play? I was set to fly back the following day, and when I did, the first thing I did was surprise Jason in Ontario after one of his work trainings. I can say, this is where it started, I just knew I had to see him. Days passed, weeks went by and we were seeing each other every day. We started to meet each others friends, then family, and then we were staying over at each others apartments. Which brings us to the first question, who asked who? It was May 13th, as we are going to bed, Jason turns over and asks “What are we doing?” Confused, I turned to him and said, “Going to bed?” Jason quickly responds, “No, what are we doing? We see each other every day, our friends are asking if we are dating?” And it happened, we were now officially boyfriends. I have had the opportunity to meet the most wonderful man. Kind, caring, funny, witty, respectful, great friend, passionate, dedicated, thoughtful, mysterious, charming, handsome, creative, inspiring, clever. The list goes on. Today it makes me happy to know that I get the opportunity to grow old by his side. I am honored to get to call him my husband on October 5th, as we start this new chapter in our love story. This is it for now… stay tuned to learn more about the CQ’s

HOW IT ALL BEGAN…

CHAPTER 2 | HOW DID IT HAPPEN… Our engagement on September 5th in Santorini, Greece, was a beautiful and emotional chapter in a journey that began years earlier. The trip was originally meant to celebrate my 40th birthday in Mykonos—a long-awaited getaway that had been postponed because of the COVID pandemic. Roberto and I had already been together for two years, and we decided to revisit the idea of a Greek vacation. I had no idea this trip would turn into the setting for a life-changing proposal. Roberto had planned, unbeknownst to me, an intimate horseback riding tour along the Santorini coastline ending with a romantic sunset proposal, but nature had other plans. The day before we were supposed to leave for Santorini I received an email saying our ferry was canceled due to high winds. Our new arrival time would be in the late afternoon—too late for Roberto’s planned horseback ride. Roberto, understandably disappointed, grew unusually quiet. I noticed his mood had shifted, but I figured it was just travel fatigue and the frustration from all the delays. When we finally arrived in Santorini, we checked into our hotel and met up with friends for lunch surrounded by the island’s stunning white-washed buildings and blue domes. The group was unusually quiet, but I didn’t think much of it. Later, when Roberto asked me where we could watch the sunset, I suggested the picturesque village of Oia. I then made plans to get an Uber within the hour. Back at the hotel, Roberto gently nudged me to wear a nice shirt for a group photo he insisted everyone wanted to take. I was hesitant at first because wearing a tank top made more sense with the heat, but I changed my mind at the last minute and thankfully threw on a button-up. As the sun dipped toward the horizon, we arrived in Oia, where crowds of tourists were already gathering for the iconic sunset. In the scramble to find the perfect spot, Roberto somehow secured a small scenic peak framed by the sea and Santorini’s famous blue domes. Our friend Mirian was ready to snap a photo, and Roberto turned to me and asked, “What are we doing?” I casually replied, “Taking a picture,” echoing the same laid-back tone we’d used when we first committed to one another years ago. Then, suddenly, Roberto dropped to one knee. Whatever speech he had prepared disappeared in the emotion of the moment. All he managed to say was the question that meant everything: “Will you marry me?” I said yes. The crowd around us burst into cheers and applause. The golden light, the joy, and the love we shared made it one of the most magical and unforgettable moments of my life.

CHAPTER 3 | JASON’S WEDDING PARTY | JUNE 05, 2025

WE WOULD NOT BE HERE WITHOUT YOU 

Our story began during the chaos and glitter of award season in Los Angeles. Kalindra had been flown in from The Four Seasons Dallas to assist at the L.A. property, and I had just joined as one of the newest concierges in town. I was brand new to the city and slightly intimidated of the confident, still friendly, Texan. In our very first week, Kalindra casually invited me and another coworker out for a post-shift drink. What I thought would be a quiet cocktail turned into a full-blown L.A. nightlife montage. One minute we were sipping wine, the next she was gliding past a mile-long club line like she owned the place. People shouted and glared behind us as she bypassed them all; then the velvet rope magically opened. She was just as new to L.A. as I was, but she simply dropped to the doorman “I’m concierge from Dallas visiting” like it was some secret password and her Disney princess charisma did the rest. That wild night kicked off a friendship that’s been full of laughter, late-night talks, red carpets, wrong turns, and ride-or-die moments. Kalindra brings the energy of five people, the heart of gold, and the social finesse of a Hollywood publicist. One spontaneous drink turned into years of unforgettable memories.

Kalindra Ashleigh | Maid of Honor

Landon and I first met on his very first day after moving to Los Angeles from Chicago at a concierge event in the heart of Beverly Hills. It’s hard not to notice Landon with his magnetic energy and effortless charm tend to light up any room he walks into. What began as a friendly connection within our concierge community quickly deepened over time. He became more than a familiar face at these concierge events and he became a true confidant, someone I could rely on through thick and thin. Over the years, our friendship has grown into something that feels more like family. Landon isn’t just one of my best friends he’s like a brother to me and the person who’s just a text or shout across the hallway in our apartment complex away. Living just feet apart in the same apartment complex has been a rare and beautiful luxury. It’s my Melrose Place tv show dream come true, minus the drama. Some of my favorite memories are the simple, spontaneous ones. Countless nights spent on either of our couches, sipping wine and belting out songs from Wicked like we were auditioning for Broadway. There’s been laughter, late-night heart-to-hearts, unfiltered advice, and endless moments of showing up for each other without needing to be asked.

Landon Moore | Best Man

It’s remarkable to look back and realize that, at just 20 years old, I was entrusted with the responsibility of training her during my very first job in the hospitality industry. At the time, I was juggling college classes and early concierge career ambitions filled with enthusiasm and drive, but still learning the finer points of time management. From the moment she joined the team, she carried herself with a confidence I admired. She always stepped in with support and understanding often covering for me without complaint or question; we have many laughs to this day of the excuses she would use to cover my tardiness. What began as a simple workplace partnership evolved into a truly meaningful friendship. We quickly discovered how effortlessly we connected through our many long conversations and mutual humor that made even the busiest shifts feel lighter. Over the years our bond grew stronger. We’ve traveled together, shared countless memories, and stood by each other through life’s inevitable ups and downs. No matter the moment, she has always been someone I could count on for perspective, laughter, and genuine support. Ours is the kind of friendship that feels both grounding and enduring. It’s built on trust, mutual respect, and a deep understanding that has only grown with time. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have begun my career alongside someone who not only shaped my early professional journey but has remained a steady, meaningful presence in my life ever since.

Terrie Mora 

I first met Amanda on her very first day in Los Angeles at a concierge event held at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Even in a crowd of strangers, her calm presence and radiant energy stood out immediately. We connected so naturally that night and I saved her in my phone as Amanda SLS Hotel. Despite the years and milestones since, I still haven’t changed in my phone. From that moment on, our friendship took off. There was always an ease between us with effortless conversation, shared laughs, and a mutual understanding that made even the busiest workdays more fun. What started as a professional connection quickly evolved into something much deeper. Over the years, we’ve grown together through life’s many twists and turns. From our carefree single days to the lives we’ve built since, Amanda has remained a constant always steady, trustworthy, and always just a text away.

Amanda Riccio 

t’s funny how sometimes the best friendships sneak up on you. From the very beginning there was this natural and effortless connection. As the partner of one of Roberto’s best friends we technically met through them, but over the years our friendship has truly taken on a life of its own. We’ve already packed in a collection of fabulous memories, celebrations, evenings filled with both laughter and great conversations. Through all of it theres been a genuine love and comfort.

Lea Jay

Our friendship began during our time working at the Montage Beverly Hills an environment full of polished hospitality, high expectations, and the occasional chaos that only luxury service can deliver. Although we worked in different departments, he had a way of bridging the gaps between teams. His warmth, generosity, and gracious spirit made everyone feel included. From the very beginning, there was something steady and genuine about our connection. What started as a professional bond quickly became something much more enduring. Over the years, as life took us in different directions, in his case different continents, we’ve remained constants in each other’s lives. Time zones and distance kept us apart at times, but that deep sense of connection never wavered. There’s always been a core strength at the heart of our friendship. No matter the circumstances or how much time had passed, we’ve always known we could count on each other whether it was to share in a celebration, lend a listening ear, or offer support during life’s more difficult moments.

Maurice Escobar

As Roberto’s youngest brother, he naturally came into my life as family, but over the years, he’s become so much more than that. From the start, there was an ease to our friendship that felt effortless. We clicked quickly, bonding over our shared love of sweet treats and the kind of conversations that just flowed so easily. I still remember when I first met him bringing me home an empanada from dinner he had with Roberto. Watching him grow into the confident, thoughtful young man he is today has been a real joy. He’s gone from a young teenager I’d joke around with to someone I truly admire. There’s a lightness and humor to our relationship that’s always made it special, but also a depth that’s grown with time.

CHAPTER 4 | ROBERTO’S WEDDING PARTY | JULY 05, 2025

THEN CAME ROBERTO

Where do I start...? LOVE... The second woman in my life that I continue to admire each and every day. The woman I was blessed to see grow from this little girl who I used to dress in Selena hair styles. The girl who I would persuade to help me with my arts and crafts and now is the queen of DIYs on Instagram. This woman with a heart of gold but stern like no other. I have been a lucky man to have grown up with such an amazing sister. I cannot express in words what she means to me and how she continues to bless my life each and every day with her presence and now double the joy with my niece, Roselyn. It is my honor to have her stand by my side on such a special day for Jason and I.

Crystal Chavez | Maid of Honor

Once upon a time... long long long ago. I met mi amorcito bonbon. Our journey started at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in one of our Architectural Engineering courses. We both have very different stories on how our friendship began, but my story is that from the minute I saw her, I could tell she was one of a kind. Miriam radiates love, kindness, selflessness, family, passion and joy. After work, she is the first person I call. Miriam is the friend I can cry with one minute and burst out laughing with the next. It is my honor to have such a power icon of a woman stand by my side as I say I Do. Trust, she is on Jasons side.

Mirian Martinez | Maid of Honor

The saying, It takes a village... started because of what it has taken to raise me into adulthood. Many extra ordinary woman. Sabrina, another super human I look up to. A dedicated mother of five, career driven, family oriented and a fantastic friend. I could not have imagined back in 7th grade that one day I would be reminiscing on our lives throughout the years. We have always understood each other in silence, that is how our friendship grew. My mother, till this day, has our prom picture in a frame which triggers in me a smile full of memories. Every birthday and holiday season is looked forward to because I get to see her and her lovely children, accompanied by home made dishes, game night and quality friend time. Another friend that I have the honor of celebrating with and who I treasure each and every day.

Sabrina Esquerra

Where do I Begin… should we start in 7th grade? What a blessing to grow into adulthood with these beautiful women. Marlen will always be the gold on the other side of the rainbow. A treasure that you don’t find easily but many hope to find. A person you want in your path because she will always be there and…she corrects grammar. I cannot wait to celebrate her wedding next year, together we will learn how to navigate this new phase, marriage. 

Marlen Beltran

A beam of light in this universe brightening all lives that she crosses. To look up to someone older than us is common, but to look up to someone younger than myself is inspirational. Our friendship started at Sheraton Cerritos, having lunch together and me entertaining her curious mind with random questions about life. We all have such different paths and Tanya loves to learn about them. She embraces people as they are and will always find the positive side of things. I met her as a young adult and have been privileged to see her grow into a business owner and wonderful woman. 

Tanya Acevez

You need something done, she is your gal. Talking about super woman. Can you believe that us two crazies were studying in Italy and our mornings would start together at the universities’ gym…. Instead of starting with a coffee or gelato like all our peers. Graduates of Cal Poly Pomona, we now get to graduate together from life some day.  I admire her for the strong hard working woman she is wearing a mother hat, teaching, real estate, fitness and still a friend to all her loved ones. 

Andrea Flores 

An incredible Texan man. I don’t know what you know about Texan men, but let me tell you about Erick. Kind, caring, welcoming, witty, smart and loves lady Gaga! Moving to a foreign state without any family or friends, my first weekend, I met my big brother. He made Texas a second home. He took the risk of having a house mate for the first time (oh, I signed a contract) to now referring to the guest room as Roberto’s room. Erick introduced me to Sunday Fundays, Whataburger and every large city in Texas. Erick loves to travel and he was with me when I asked Jason the big question in Santorini. Now, I am honored that he will stand next to us as I we say “I Do” 

Erick Garcia 

Who is this queen…? This was Guidos first thought when he first saw me post high school graduation. We first met in high school, dressed in some Air Force ones, oversized clothes and taper fade haircut. Second meet was in a 21+ night club line (Arena). I was in skinny jeans, turquoise low cut v neck, black lace up boots and straight spiked up hair half foot long. The rest is history. People knew us as the dancing queens, lol. We would dance for hours. And if punta comes on, forget it, I hand over the dance floor. Another of the sweetest and funniest guys you will ever meet. He is his family’s strength, their glimpse of joy and he will always be there by my side to dance in this journey called life. 

Guido Mancilla 

Free spirited and kind. Our friendship started in banning high and at tiger heat. I befriended this guy who never gave a darn... a free spirit. Un hombre sin pelos en la lengua but always with his heart in the right place. His openness is refreshing and what I admire. He does have the mind of an engineer and can build you anything, but he argues like a lawyer. Chris has been part of my self love journey. With his support, I am now this better version of me and I look forward to this new role as a husband with his continued friendship. 

Chris Huizar 

The friend I was missing! I have always been blessed with beautiful people enriching my life, but my sista is who I was waiting for to complete my circle. One of the first extended friendships on Jason’s side. Hernán is the first person I ever meet who was born is the same small town I am from, Abasolo in Guanajuato, Mexico. Our roots, values, culture is what has strengthen our bond but his fun passionate energy is the spark of our friendship. Another smart fashionable business man with a promising future. 

Hernan Amezola

The one responsible for all this. Many friends call him “Moma.” Another man who openly loves everyone for who they are. He encourages authenticity and supports you every possible way. He is an ear that listens, a hand that gives and a friend who cares. And he will take off his hoops if someone messes with a loved one. I had the privilege of first working with Aaron in Long Beach and again in West Beverly Hills. A self made man in the hospitality world, recognized everywhere he goes and an advocate for our gay community. Aaron continues to inspire many and I am honored that he will marry Jason and I. Oh, how did this happen? Aaron invited Jason who he went to high school with to celebrate his big birthday in Puerto Vallarta which I too was invited to… and here we are. 

Aaron Sharpe

An inspiring woman. First time we ever met, mom took us to our first family holiday celebration at work, Torrance Marriott, but instead of entering from the front of the hotel, mom brought us through the back where I entered into Sam’s home. Stepping into the banquet isle, running into Sam, mom blurts out, “Sam, my son is looking for a job.” I didn’t know that this day, mom introduced me to the second most important woman in my life. Sam, a real leader in life and at work. Sam will always do right, for people and for the greater cause. She leads by example and cares with her entire heart. Sam has been there for the second part of my journey in life: as a professional, as energy, as a man, a brother, a son, a friend and a human. Our text chat is the second largest chat in my phone. Her voice messages are the glimmers that we all need. It is my honor for Sam to walk by my side next to my parents in this new phase of life.
