Our Wedding

David and Angelica met on the fateful day of October 20, 2023. They matched on the dating app Hinge just a week prior, and deviating from his usual path of first dates, David suggested a concert.-The Killers were in town for the first day of the Formula 1 race at Circuit of the Americas. They agreed to meet at a restaurant right outside of the venue and go in together to avoid paying for parking. What could go wrong?-Turns out, cell signal was atrocious near the venue and traffic was an even bigger nightmare. Rather than go to the original agreed upon spot, David decided to change up the plan and meet at a random auto shop instead. However, his texts nor phone calls were going through, so he decided to start walking towards the venue hoping cell service would be better there to communicate that she should just meet him at the track entrance.-Roughly 40 minutes went by and while David was at the venue with cell service now, Angelica had drove to the restaurant expecting to meet David there but eventually got a very delayed text saying to meet at the auto shop instead.-So she drove there and when pulling in asked if an Asian guy had parked there. The owner confirmed saying “with tattoos? Yeah his car is right there.” Angelica then asked to use the landline phone. Alas, live communication!-Shortly thereafter, they officially meet, hug in relief, and walk into the venue together. Jokes are immediately made about how Angelica almost drove home and David almost watched the concert by himself.-In the first 15 minutes of the date, David shares that another artist is playing tonight but at midnight and goes until 2am. Angelica said she would be down despite having a 12 hour shift at the hospital at 7am the following morning.-What was perhaps a joke in that moment turned out to be exactly what fate had in mind. Within an hour or so of the date, they agree to go and David buys two tickets for Elderbrook at Kingdom nightclub. But this time, they wisely took an Uber together.-Fast forward to December 2024, David asked Angelica to marry him during his Christmas break from Office Candidate School.-They got married on June 2nd, 2025, by the Justice of Peace with just a few friends followed by Korean BBQ.-Their beautiful daughter, Sofia Vera, was born on June 14th.-It’s been nothing short of a fairytale since then. David and Angelica now invite you to witness their love in a way they always dreamed of, with friends and family near and far!

Where are the ceremony and reception taking place?

It’s all at the same venue! The Chapel at Gruene.1671 FM306, New Braunfels, TX 78132

Can I bring a plus one?

Unfortunately, we have a strict guest list to stay on budget. Our celebration is strictly RSVP only. We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your wedding invitation. And as much we love the little ones, we kindly ask for them to sit this party out.

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Both! The ceremony will be in an outdoor chapel with overhead cover and the cocktail hour will be outdoors. The reception will be indoors.

What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

The dress code for our wedding is summer formal/cocktail attire. Think cocktail dresses, suit and tie, or a sports coat.

What will the weather be in Central Texas this time of year?

Texas can be unpredictable in this late summer, but typically low 80s during the day and mid 60s at night.

Is there free parking at the venue?

Plenty. You can even leave your car there overnight and pick it up in the morning!

Is there an after party?

Of course! Although the reception hall closes at 11pm, we have the grounds until the following morning. Continue the party with us around the fire pits!

Am I expected to bring a gift or purchase something off the registry?

Your presence is the greatest gift to us. If you’d like to contribute, we’re so grateful for anything that helps us create more memories together.
