Our Wedding

PARTY IN THE USA

Frankie and Ryan met freshman year of high school in Spanish class. Ryan being the trouble maker that he is, would be loud and talkative during class, which absolutely annoyed Frankie because she was a good student who was quite and listened during class. This happened to catch her eye because although he was annoying, she thought he was cute. 		Frankie had heard rumors that Ryan Michael had a crush on her. If you don't know what Ask.fm is, its an anonymous website where you can ask people questions and they answer. So being the nosy person Frankie is, she decided to ask Ryan on his Ask.fm page if it was true, and after no response, Frankie was irritated once again. 		Ryan played football in high school and so did Frankie's nephew, Noah, so Frankie would walk by to "say hi" to her nephew before practice, in reality, she was just trying to look for Ryan. They crushed on each other for a short time, but once again, Ryan annoyed her and she moved along. 		Freshman year lucked out for Ryan, but there was still hope for him. 		Sophomore year rolled around, and Ryan caught Frankie's eye once more. But, this time Frankie was on Ryan's shit list, but that did not stop her from pursuing him. The back to school dance happened a week or so into the year, during which Frankie walked up to Ryan and lip sang Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus. It was at that moment he was trapped for the rest of his life. Although reluctant, he got up off his chair and danced with Frankie for the rest of the night.			They started going on dates, and officially started dating on October 31, 2016 in the Shakey's game room. 		Senior year of high school they went to separate schools, but that didn't affect them one bit. On the days he only had class in the mornings, he would pick up Frankie for lunch and they would spend ever Friday night together after his games. 		Frankie and Ryan were both looking to play athletics in college and stumbled upon the GPAC here in the Midwest. Ryan says that Frankie followed him there, but we all know that Frankie was the one that committed to BCU first and Ryan was the one who followed her.Spending time apart during college was not easy, they had their ups and downs, but the love they share for one another was inevitable. 		Although Frankie and Ryan only met for the first time freshman year of high school, their families were not introduced for the first time when they started officially dating, our families were well acquainted years before they even met. Ryan's niece, Desiree, and Frankie's cousin, Milee, were best friend's who played softball together, and Frankie's cousin, Derek, was one of Ryan's pop warner coaches at La Habra! So, if you ask Ryan and Frankie, they were just fated to be together, or this was actually just an arranged marriage that they had no idea about. 		Frankie and Ryan now have a cute little apartment in Lincoln, NE and are raising a beautiful little boy whose name is Chuck Norris, chucky for short. He is a little furry but its okay, he is the cutest little man in the world, and they love him to death.

The Bridal Party

Frankie and Anissa have known each other for over 15 years! They met by playing on the same softball team and eventually attended the same middle school and graduated from high school together. From quoting the perfect game to talking boys, we have been through so much of life together and I couldn't think of anyone else to be at my side. 

Anissa Alatorre

Noah is Frankie's nephew (cousin to those that still can't comprehend lol). We grew up like siblings and have been close our whole lives. Although untraditional, Noah is someone I can't imagine not being in our wedding!

Noah Salas

Danielle is Frankie's cousin. We were the only two girl cousins for the longest time and survived the years of Derek and Jared terrorizing us together.  There are so many memories growing up together and then eventually taking absurdly large tequila shots together! 

Danielle Moreno

Frankie and Brylee met in college, but we really became friends when Brylee wanted to know what the inside of a microwave looked like when it was on... and well she got a new phone shortly after. To getting lip tattoo's together (sorry mom and dad), throwing up next to each other, to you standing by my side ! 

Brylee Barr

Frankie and Grace met on the golf team at BCU. This is a super unexpected friendship that I'm sure surprised us both lol. From all those nights "studying" in the anatomy lab to making everyone else on the team alcoholics, Grace is truly a one of kind friend that I am so grateful to have in my life and by my side on this day!

Wedding Party

Look nice but you don't have to wear a full blown tuxedo or floor length dress! All I ask is no white, cream, or anything relatively close to white for the women's dresses. You will be met with wrath if you do :)

Dress Code

Pala Casino Spa Resort

Best Western Escondido Hotel

Comfort Inn Escondido San Diego North County

I recommend getting an airbnb with multiple people as possible just because most hotels are not very close to the house where the wedding ceremony and reception will take place.
