Our Wedding

Hailing from the vibrant city of Laredo, Texas, Dalia and Geovanny’s story officially took off in San Antonio—though it took a while for their routes to finally merge, despite running the same roads for years. By the time Dalia was charting new territory with her career in Houston, Geo had just survived (and graduated from) The University of Texas at Austin and was prepping for the next chapter at UT Health San Antonio. It took two mutual friends, the bright chaos of a wedding party, and the distinguished titles of “bridesmaid” and “groomsman” to finally bring their lives into sync. A chance meeting ignited long conversations, and soon, weekends became a masterclass in logistics: darting up and down US Highway 281 to Houston and Austin, scoping out the best coffee along the way, competing to see who clocked the most miles— and earning unofficial shareholder status at Buc-ee’s with every stop for snacks, fuel, and existential shopping. After countless hours on the road and more late-night calls than they care to admit, Geo asked Dalia to be his girlfriend on June 25, 2021, at Bar Peached in Austin—right before packing for San Antonio and graduate school. Their relationship was built on patience, inside jokes, and a mutual appreciation for small Texas towns with names half the state can’t pronounce. While Geo hit the books in San Antonio and Dalia was thriving in Houston, they’d meet in charming outposts—Weimar, Schulenburg—where gas stations doubled as date-night destinations. Interstate 10, once a line on a map, became their running punchline (and, occasionally, their nemesis). Afternoons in the Texas Hill Country, detours for wildflowers, and impromptu barbecue stops became the backdrop to their story. Two years of long-distance navigation and enough driving to rival a seasoned trucker brought new milestones. With graduate school in the rearview mirror, Geo pointed west to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Soon after, Dalia joined him, and together they settled into life where crisp mountain air and unbeatable weather replaced Texas heat. Along the way, they added another highway to their story—Route 66—turning scenic detours and iconic stretches of road into a fresh chapter of adventure. As bona fide hiking enthusiasts, the pair traded bluebonnets for Southwestern trails, knocking out an impressive collection of national parks: Big Bend, White Sands, Carlsbad Caverns, Great Sand Dunes, Mesa Verde, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Rocky Mountain, Petrified Forest, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Capitol Reef, Arches, and Canyonlands. Their weekends were spent chasing sunsets, losing and finding trailheads, and tallying states where they both managed to get sunburned. In late May 2024, they welcomed Butters Zarceno, a golden retriever with questionable manners and unmatched charm. He quickly claimed the sofa as his kingdom and their hearts as his own. Then, on March 1, 2025, at the snowy summit of the Sandia Mountains, Geo knelt—unconcerned with the fate of his Jordans—and asked Dalia to share his life’s next chapter. From every Texas mile to mountain peaks out West, theirs is a story shaped by laughter, adventure, resilience, and a touch of serendipity. Through it all, they’re deeply grateful for the blessings and guidance they believe God has granted, confident that faith—and a healthy sense of humor—will illuminate their journey together, wherever the road winds next. SPANISH TRANSLATION Provenientes de la vibrante ciudad de Laredo, Texas, la historia de Dalia y Geovanny despegó oficialmente en San Antonio—aunque durante años, recorrieron los mismos caminos sin que sus rutas coincidieran del todo. Para cuando Dalia abría nuevos horizontes en Houston, Geo acababa de sobrevivir (y graduarse) de la Universidad de Texas en Austin y se preparaba para su siguiente capítulo en UT Health San Antonio. Hicieron falta dos amigos en común, el caótico brillo de una boda y los distinguidos títulos de “dama” y “padrino” para finalmente alinear sus vidas. Un encuentro casual encendió largas conversaciones y, pronto, los fines de semana se convirtieron en una verdadera lección de logística: yendo y viniendo por la US Highway 281 hacia Houston y Austin, probando los mejores cafés en cada parada, compitiendo para ver quién recorría más millas—y ganando una participación accionaria no oficial en Buc-ee’s tras sucesivas paradas por snacks, combustible y compras existenciales. Tras incontables horas en la carretera y más llamadas nocturnas de las que quisieran confesar, Geo le pidió a Dalia que fuera su novia el 25 de junio de 2021, en Bar Peached en Austin—justo antes de hacer maletas rumbo a San Antonio y comenzar la escuela de posgrado. Su relación se construyó sobre paciencia, bromas internas y una mutua admiración por los pequeños pueblos de Texas cuyos nombres pocos pueden pronunciar. Mientras Geo estudiaba en San Antonio y Dalia florecía en Houston, solían encontrarse en encantadores puntos intermedios—Weimar, Schulenburg—donde las gasolineras también eran destinos románticos. La carretera interestatal 10, antes solo una línea en el mapa, se convirtió en un chiste recurrente (y, de vez en cuando, en su némesis). Las tardes en el Texas Hill Country, los desvíos por campos de flores y las paradas improvisadas para comer barbecue pintaron de fondo su historia. Tras dos años de navegación a distancia—y una cantidad de millas digna de un operador profesional—Geo dejó atrás la escuela de posgrado y puso rumbo al oeste, hacia Santa Fe, Nuevo México. Poco después, Dalia se unió a él y juntos construyeron una nueva vida donde el aire fresco de las montañas y un clima inigualable reemplazaron el calor texano. En el camino, sumaron otra carretera a su historia—la Ruta 66—convirtiendo desvíos escénicos y tramos icónicos en una nueva aventura. Como auténticos entusiastas del senderismo, cambiaron los bluebonnets por senderos del suroeste y comenzaron a tachar una impresionante lista de parques nacionales: Big Bend, White Sands, Carlsbad Caverns, Great Sand Dunes, Mesa Verde, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Rocky Mountain, Petrified Forest, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Capitol Reef, Arches y Canyonlands. Sus fines de semana estuvieron llenos de atardeceres, búsquedas (y pérdidas) de rutas, y la cuenta de estados donde ambos terminaron con quemaduras de sol. En mayo de 2024, su familia creció con la llegada de Butters Zarceno, un golden retriever con modales cuestionables y encanto inigualable que rápidamente dominó el sofá y sus corazones. El 1 de marzo de 2025, en la cima nevada de las montañas Sandia, Geo se arrodilló—sin pensar en las arrugas de sus Jordans—y le pidió a Dalia compartir juntos el siguiente capítulo de su vida. Desde cada milla en Texas hasta los picos de las montañas del oeste, su historia está marcada por la risa, la aventura, la resiliencia y un toque de serendipia. A través de todo, se mantienen profundamente agradecidos por las bendiciones y la guía que creen que Dios les ha otorgado, confiando en que la fe—y un firme sentido del humor—iluminarán su camino juntos, donde sea que los lleve la ruta.

Our Story

Photos

My sister Daniela has been by my side for as long as I can remember—through childhood memories, late-night talks in our shared childhood room, and every major moment since. She's thoughtful, supportive, and one of the most loyal people I know. A devoted wife and loving mom to two amazing kids, she somehow manages to hold it all together while still showing up for everyone around her—including me, no matter the distance. I had the honor of standing beside her on her big day, so it's only fair she returns the favor now, right? There’s no one else I’d trust more to stand with me on this one.

If you want a guy who can break down hedge fund math, recite a passage from Dostoyevsky, and diagnose the news cycle—all before lunch—Jorge Solis is your guy. He’s genuinely unmatched when it comes to reading and literature. Jorge is a mathematician with an edge in finance and a mind that’s always a multiple steps ahead.

In classic Jorge fashion, when we first met at United High School's magnet program back in ninth grade, I asked him his favorite rapper; without a pause he said “50 Cent” with absolute confidence. Since that moment, I knew I liked this guy. His intellectual capacity is unmatched, and you will feel it as soon as you start a conversation with him. Make no mistake. This man can put beers down. When you have time, ask him about that spring break trip to Concan, TX or drinking at downtown San Antonio with his brother and family. Iman Shumpert rapping LOL. Fun memories. 

In a way, Jorge is the person I can have the most intimate conversations with—not in a conventional sense, but philosophical intimacy. If our messages ever got leaked, there goes any hope for being Senators or US Representatives. That’s why he’s my best friend. Ever since we met, he’s kept every conversation interesting, with references that somehow span from Wall Street to European literature to NJF, a *good friend* of ours.  Selfishly, the most unfortunate part of our friendship is that he lived in New York City, while I made Texas and New Mexico my stomping grounds. This limited our encounters. 

Having him as my best man means I’ve got the ultimate reader, analyst, and the friend who always keeps it original by my side.  I am truly honored to have him stand with me. Jorge will be delivering the keynote speech on my wedding night.

Jorge Solis

Both of us getting a job in Houston back in 2020 turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to me—because it brought me my amiga, Julissa. From late-night outings to deep convos, and all the laughs in between, she made Houston feel like home when I was missing everything and everyone else. She’s the definition of a girls’ girl—always in my corner, showing up with love, friendship, and optimism. Julissa was there before Geo was even in the picture, cheering me on through every phase of our love story. I’m so grateful to have her by my side on such a special day, just like she’s been with me when I need my amiga the most.

Julissa Sarmiento

If you’re talking day-one loyalty, nobody beats Jose Manuel. We’ve been friends since first grade—back when life was dominated by cafeteria lunch trades, dodgeball strategies, and pranks... My God, those pranks like the recruiters and the college admission. LEGENDARY. 

We’ve been through everything: legendary Accelerated Reader (AR) rivalries (yes, we cooked more book points than should be legal for a seven-year-old), classroom shenanigans where a single look could derail the whole lesson, and enough memories from 5th to 8th grade that should not be disclosed. Gentlemen, take a moment to think about what you were doing from 5th grade to 8th grade. There was academic smack talk, epic recess alliances, and battles over who really deserved the best seat on the bus—if it happened, we were in the middle of it.

Ironically, Jose was also my toughest academic competitor from elementary and throughout middle school. Even when we ended up at different high schools, that bond never wavered—turns out,the Patriots, gambling, and 12-legged parlays are all you need to keep a friendship alive.

Jose’s more than tradition—he’s the brother I never had. From seeing each other in El Metro bus with our moms at 7 years old, to stepping out of the school bus to a warzone in Antonio Gonzalez Middle school every morning, to visiting each other during college, this is literally my brother. Living with him during my first year of graduate school at the legendary Marbach Road in San Antonio, I saw him become a family man, and it made me very happy. If I’m choosing who stands next to me, it’s him. Always. On top of that, he’ll be delivering the keynote Spanish speech on my wedding night, because there’s no one better to do it.

Jose Manuel Villanueva

Jenny’s kindness and warmth made me feel welcomed right away. She has a heart of gold—one of the most selfless and compassionate people I know. With her deep love for nature and genuine spirit, becoming part of her family has been such a gift. Now, I get to call her not just my sister-in-law, but a friend I truly cherish. Jenny brings a quiet strength and calming presence that never goes unnoticed—exactly the kind of support I need on one of the most important days of my life.

Jenny Ramirez

Some friendships come with built-in stories, and Gabe Lugo is proof. We met in 11th grade and wasted no time measuring each other’s guts—crafting fake school IDs so we could duck out early and spend our time on “higher priorities” (translation: just about anything besides class). 

Despite ending up on opposite sides of the most heated rivalry in Texas—he went to Texas A&M (Ouch, Gig’em Ags), I declared for THE University of Texas at Austin—that never got in the way of us being brothers in arms. Even back when I was at Baylor, before transferring, I’d make the pilgrimage up to see Gabe at College Station, go hang out with his family in Round Rock, and—proving the universe has a sense of humor—get pulled over twice in Milano by the same sheriff, once each way. Still not sure how that’s possible.

His family, ranging from his direct family to his aunts/uncles in Laredo and Round Rock, has always welcomed me like one of their own, and honestly, it says everything about the kind of people they (and he) are.  Even much more that he wore a burnt-orange tie at his wedding, I assume in hommage to the Texas Longhorns and me (the proof is in the picture). We trade memes at a championship level, make dad puns whenever possible, keep running tabs on sports stats, and both have a deep love for the art of cooking. 

Gabe’s that friend who can switch from being a competitive opponent in Madden, to going to New Orleans together in short notice and having an amazing time, to breaking down life’s big questions without missing a beat. He has been a very loyal friend to me, and one who responds to me messages quite literally faster than anyone else. 

That’s exactly why I’m lucky to have him up there with me.

Gabriel Lugo

Every story needs a four-legged hero, and for us, that’s Butters. We welcomed him into our lives after a road trip to Colorado Springs—a journey all about bringing home the newest member of our family and saying goodbye to our previous life. From adventures at the Great Sand Dunes and hiking the breathtaking trails of Rocky Mountain National Park, to capping it off with a miraculous Rockies win, it was clear things were about to change. The moment we met Butters, the bond was immediate.

Butters is the very definition of sweet. He’s managed to hold onto his puppy-faced charm, and somehow, each day he manages to look even more adorable. Whether it’s his joyful zoomies or the way he waits by the door for us to come home, he’s the heartbeat of our little pack. He insists on sleeping close, keeps a watchful eye on us, and never crosses that line from playful to annoying—he “gets it” in a way only he can.

There’s also no doubt he lives like a king. We’ll admit it—we spoil him. He gets slow-cooked meals of chicken or chuck roast with carrots, celery, rice, and we always save the broth for him. When we go to a high-end restaurant, we make sure to get the bone and bring it home for the boy. Butters’ menu is thoughtfully prepared and worthy of royalty.

There isn’t another dog we could imagine sharing life with. Butters has the innocence (and wide-eyed sweetness) that would make even Butters Leopold Stotch from South Park proud. Loyal, loving, and a little bit legendary, our “Dog of Honor” is a reminder that sometimes, the best family is the one you choose—and who chooses you right back.

Travel

We will be adding places that we have personally vetted and find acceptable for you guys. With respect to food, we will never recommend somewhere we wouldn't want our families to eat. Keep in mind that the cuisine here is "southwestern" or "New Mexican." Most, if not all of the restaurants, have happy hour from 3 - 6 pm. Check it out. With respect to doing fun things, it is very limited to casinos, scenic drives in the Pecos Wilderness, art galleries, and museums around the downtown area. The list will start as follows and you can scroll to what you are looking for: 1. Food joints around downtown2. Nightlife3. Kid friendly breweries, live music, and food4. Desserts/snacks5. Museums and art galleries6. Scenic drives and walks

 1. FOOD JOINTS AROUND DOWNTOWN

This food truck offers some of the best pizza we have ever tried. If you are a meat lover, we highly recommend the #5 pizza tri carne, WITH THE ADDITION OF BLACK GARLIC.

Bruno's Pizzeria

This is another wonderful pizza joint that offers high quality pizzas, wings, wine, and cream soda. It is more accessible than Brunos, depending on the time you are craving it.

Upper Crust Pizza Downtown

If you are craving a burger, this is the place to go.

The Burger Stand -Santa Fe

Rustic, Western-themed watering hole serving Tex Mex grub, margaritas &amp; cocktails. Big fan for happy hour drinks.

Del Charro

Great spot downtown for breakfast and brunch. You are situated right at the heart of the plaza.

Plaza Cafe Downtown

Elegant eatery featuring local cuisine with Southwestern flair, cocktails &amp; a rooftop bar. Huge fan. It has a very high-end section that will only take you via reservation. We highly recommend it. The other option would be the walk-in rooftop bar with a casual atmosphere.

Coyote Cafe & Rooftop Cantina

Elegant bistro known for tableside preparations, plus a menu of locally sourced fare &amp; global wines. Very intimate if you are with your significant other.

Dinner For Two

Geo's favorite restaurant. The rib eye and the pork rib chop are amazing. Get a whiskey AND do not forget dessert. Our recommendation: Kentucky Butter Cake.

Radish & Rye

Upscale izakaya at Ten Thousand Waves offering Japanese bar bites, artisanal sake &amp; craft beer. AMAZING FOOD. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. This place is also up in the mountains. Great views. Beautiful.

Izanami Restaurant

2. NIGHTLIFE

The nightlife in Santa Fe is scarce. There are a few nice places that we will recommend to you if you want to have a drink. You can also have a drink at all those restaurants we mentioned above.

This is pretty much the only place where you can watch sports and have a bite to eat. Also, it is the only nice place that stays open until 2 am. Consequently, we will go here after our wedding reception to keep the party going. We recommend this place.

BOXCAR

As the name implies, this is a casino, and gambling is LEGAL here. It is a 30 minute drive north of Santa Fe. This is a really nice place. It has restaurants and a sportsbook. Highly recommend.

Buffalo Thunder Resort Casino

Classic dive bar serving up drinks in a funky space with colorful posters &amp; loud music. Its alright. You can get a drink here for sure. A bit sus for my liking but it embodies Santa Fe. CASH ONLY.

The Matador

Buzzing hangout with tropical decor, many types of imported beer &amp; occasional live music. CASH ONLY.

Evangelo's

Refined lounge with a patio at Hotel St. Francis serving cocktails with local spirits &amp; ingredients. They close at 10 pm. It is very intimate. We like it.

Secreto Lounge

3. KID FRIENDLY BREWERIES, LIVE MUSIC, AND FOOD

Big fan of this brewery. Good burgers as well. It is in the Railyard. Nice beaituful place to hang out.

Second Street Brewery at The Railyard

Another very nice brewery with outdoor seating. Highly recommend. You can grub here as well.

Nuckolls Brewing Co. Santa Fe

Down-home American comfort eats &amp; live music draw crowds at this cowgirl-themed spot.

Cowgirl

This craft brewery features a tasting room &amp; offers tours of its facilities once a week. Although displaced from downtown, it is very nice. We are big fans. They have a food truck, Fusion Tacos, that arguably has the best tacos in Santa Fe (not a high bar, we will be honest, but worth it when in Santa Fe).

Santa Fe Brewing Company (Beer Hall at HQ)

4. DESSERTS/SNACKS

Craft Donuts & Coffee

They are a specialty chocolate company located in the beautiful high desert town of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Our passion is authentic and historic drinking chocolates elixirs.

Bandelier National Monument is a 33,677-acre United States National Monument near Los Alamos in Sandoval and Los Alamos counties, New Mexico. The monument preserves the homes and territory of the Ancestral Puebloans of a later era in the Southwest.

Bandelier National Monument Visitor Center

I did not add any art galleries, because they are basically everywhere within the downtown region. Google is of more help than me.

6. SCENIC DRIVES AND WALKS

Historic city plaza with benches, a bandstand &amp; ethnic markets, plus festivals &amp; community events. You can walk all over downtown and see many small shops, mountain views, and New Mexico architecture. You can try New Mexico's "famous Frito Pie" at the Five &amp; Dime General Store.

Santa Fe Plaza

This half a mile of a road will have more than a hundred galleries, boutiques, and restaurants to roam around through.

Canyon Road District

Botanical center for tours &amp; plant education set within a piñon-juniper woodland. Late May should be gorgeous.

Santa Fe Botanical Garden

This is misleading. Assuming it was winter, you can go skiing. While there may still be snow, and there is, the resort is closed. However, a scenic drive up to the ski resort, with a base elevation of 10,350 feet (3,155 meters) and a summit elevation of 12,075 feet (3,680 meters), will literally take your breath away. If you have a car, I highly recommend doing this. Also, if you have the gear, I recommend a short hike.

Ski Santa Fe

If you have the time, going up to Taos to see the mountains is quite a scene and drive. It is a 2 hour drive one way, so plan accordingly. Also, if you have the gear, I recommend a short hike.
