Our Wedding

Let's take it back to 2009-2010. Think emo hairstyles, thick eyeliner, fauxhawks, and giant character hoodies. Erica and Daniel met during their most embarrassing years - middle school. It was the last semester of their last year at Herman where they met through mutual friends. The pair became best friends almost instantly; hanging out at lunch time and sometimes after school while waiting to be picked up. By graduation in 2010, the pair learned they'd be going their separate ways to different high schools. Trying their best to stay connected, they had the infamous high school mall meet-ups and talked through messenger. However, these attempts did not last very long as the two grew up. Fast forward to 2017. Erica is in her third year of university and decides to send a message to an old friend. Their friendship started up again as if it hadn't taken a brief hiatus. That summer, the pair became best friends and spent a lot of time together to make up for lost time. They turned 21 together. They spent time exploring the surrounding areas of San Jose and Monterey. They took group trips to Santa Cruz and San Francisco. They shared their love for music and art. Fast forward again to December 2017. Erica is back in school and Daniel is hard at work, learning to become a chef. The two decided to go to a concert together with two amazing headliners - one was Erica's favorite and the other was Daniel's. Some might say it was meant to be. By the end of the night, with the adrenaline pumping through their veins from one of the best concerts of their lives... the pair simultaneously confessed their middle school crushes to each other as well as their current love. The rest is history.

Our Story

Jeanett is the bride's sorority sister, soul sister, and best friend. Not to mention, the godmother of her children! Jeanett sat front row when the bride and groom's love story started to blossom (after many years apart). She often told the bride that she was in-denial! Despite the push back, Jeanett happened to be right and has been such an amazing support of the couple and their little family.

Krisy is the bride's childhood bestie, a member of the bride's 4th grade "secret jonas brothers club", and an amazing friend who has been there during the bride's main character moments. She was also a witness to the bride and groom's blossoming friendship back in 2010; being a part of their friend group at lunch time in the quad. She is currently engaged as well!

Ruben met the bride when she was rushing for her sorority with his girlfriend (Jeanett). He spent many long nights helping lighten the (very) stressful mood when the girls were up late studying or preparing for their sorority events. 

He then met the groom through the bride and the pair instantly hit it off (often leaving the girls behind)! Ruben is not only the groom's best friend, he is the godfather of his children.

Austin is one of the groom's best friends. The pair first met in elementary school and became friends in high school. They didn't truly hang out until they reconnected through a mutual friend group after graduation. From then on, they were there for each other through all of life's adventures; the good and the bad. Austin and the groom have shared numerous life events together including the growing of both of their families. Now they're celebrating together, once again.
