Our Story

Friendship to Forever ∞

We met freshman year of high school, and quickly realized that there was something unique about our bond. After about 5 years of the most genuine and close friendship, Matt decided to ask me on our first date to the movies. Let's just say, the rest is history.


Our love story has unfolded in the most beautiful of ways. Over the past 11 years, we’ve grown and matured so much together and as individuals.


Whether it's chasing spontaneous adventures or just hanging out doing nothing, we've found that the real magic is being together. It's these "ordinary moments", alongside our shared faith/values, friendship, commitment to each other, and our crazy cuban families, that make our love story truly one in a million.


We couldn't be more excited to start this next chapter as husband and wife, and we can't wait to create even more memories with all of you by our side!


With all our love,


Elyse & Matt
