Wedding Day

Our Wedding

Juan and Issis were introduced to each other by their mutual friend, Sandra. In October 2024, both joined Sandra for her birthday celebrations. Instagram handles were shared, profiles were followed, and the conversations that started while out and about continued online and expanded into new topics. Issis invited Juan to explore local beach spots and join her for yummy vegan eats. Juan invited her to theme parks and to draw or read at cafes. These hangouts showed them in how much they liked each other and they continued to make more and more plans. They discovered a mutual love of thrifting and antique shopping as well as dancing at dark wave nightclubs and being out in nature. It became clear to both of them that this was going to be life changing. In January 2025, Juan asked Issis to be his girlfriend. She said yes. In July, Issis asked Juan to marry her. He said yes.

Sandra is the reason this wedding is happening! Please tell her thank you for introducing Juan and Issis. She and Issis met freshman year of high school in biology class and eventually bonded over anime and marching band. Sandra met Juan in 2021 right after he graduated from Cal State Long Beach. The two bonded over their passion for art and illustrating.

Sandra De La Rosa

Dimebag, nicknamed for his resemblance to Pantera guitarist, Dimebag Darrell, met Juan when the two were in middle school. They became friends when they entered high school and found themselves outside of typical groups within the school. He introduced Juan to grunge and heavy metal music. Juan has always respected his friend’s loyalty and kind/welcoming nature.

David and Juan met freshman year of high school. Bonding over video games came easy to the two of them. David calls it “that nerdy shit”. Together with Dimebag, the three formed a tight friendship over the years, especially after high school. They have supported each other without expectations, even saving each others lives from time to time. As Juan puts it, “they know too much about each other.”
