Our Wedding

In the brisk days of January 2021, fate quietly worked its magic, bringing together two hearts from distant corners of the world. Jessyca, a warm-hearted woman brimming with kindness, had journeyed from the city of Goiânia, Brazil, to Pennsylvania at just 14, where she began building her dreams. Meanwhile, Armando, an adventurous soul hailing from Chino, California, had made his way to Pennsylvania for work, always chasing his next adventure. Little did he know, the greatest adventure of all was about to begin. Their paths crossed online, a chance encounter that immediately felt like something more. On January 10th, 2021, they met for the first time, a day filled with easy laughter, deep conversation, and an unshakable connection. Just two weeks later, Armando, captivated by Jessyca’s spirit, asked her to be his girlfriend on January 23rd. She said yes, and thus began a love story that would grow deeper with every passing moment. Life moved forward, as it always does, but now they were moving through it together. Jessyca’s lease in Narberth was coming to an end, and her daughter Sophia was finishing Pre-K at Bala House Montessori. As the days unfolded, the idea of blending their lives felt natural, inevitable. By July 2021, they took the next step, moving in together and creating a home that was filled with laughter, love, and the joyful energy of four-year-old Sophia. Their home became the foundation for countless new adventures. Armando and Jessyca’s bond grew stronger with each shared experience—whether they were snowboarding down snowy slopes, hiking scenic trails, or soaking in the serenity of beach trips to Florida, New Jersey, and California. Every moment brought them closer, as did their time with Sophia. Under their loving guidance, she blossomed—learning to read, swim, snowboard, ice skate, gymnastics, etc. All the while, she lost some of her baby teeth and is growing into a bright, curious young girl, making their journey even more special. Over the years, they filled their lives with extraordinary memories. From celebrating Sophia’s milestones to fostering a German Shepherd, starting a new camping tradition, and attending a Formula One race in Las Vegas, every moment was lived with love and intention. Through the ups and downs, they leaned on each other, creating a life that is rich in joy, adventure, and unwavering love. By December 2023, Armando knew, without a doubt, that he had found the love of his life. On December 17th, in the breathtaking beauty of Búzios, Brazil, he asked Jessyca to marry him. With joy in her heart, she said yes, sealing a promise of forever. Now, as they prepare to stand before their family and friends on their wedding day, Jessyca and Armando look ahead to the next chapter of their story. Their love is a testament to serendipity, the beauty of shared adventures, and the power of finding someone who makes every step of life feel like an incredible journey.

Travel/Hotels

Get ready for an unforgettable experience as you float high above the beautiful Temecula Valley in a hot air balloon! Take in breathtaking 360-degree views of rolling vineyards, picturesque mountains, and endless skies as the sun rises or sets, painting the landscape in gorgeous colors. Whether you're an adventurer or a romantic at heart, this one-of-a-kind journey will leave you with memories to last a lifetime. It's the perfect way to see Temecula from a whole new perspective!

Magical Adventure Balloon Rides

The wineries in Temecula are fairly spread out, so having a car or joining a wine tour that provides transportation is a great idea for making the most of your visit. However, if you’d prefer a day of wine tasting on foot, you're in luck! South Coast, Ponte, and Wiens Family Cellars are conveniently located within walking distance of each other, making it easy to enjoy a relaxed day of sampling without the need for transportation.

Temecula Wine Trolley Wine Tours

Stroll through charming antique shops and quirky boutiques, then pop into one of the cozy cafes to sip on some of Temecula’s finest local wines. (You are in Wine Country, after all—when in Rome, right?) Not a wine fan? No worries! Temecula’s got you covered with an ever-expanding selection of breweries, distilleries, and meaderies serving up something local for every taste bud. Take a breather along Old Town Front Street and people-watch while soaking up the views of those gorgeous, towering mountains. And, for the early birds, don’t forget to hit up the farmer’s market on Saturday mornings—it’s the perfect place to snag some fresh local goodies!

Old Town Temecula

When you’ve had your fill of wine tastings, switch things up and head to the Temecula Olive Oil Company or Olive Plantation for a whole new tasting adventure. At Temecula Olive Oil Company, right in the heart of Old Town, you’ll get to sample a bunch of unique and flavorful olive oils—perfect for drizzling, dipping, or just straight-up sipping (no judgment here). If you’re looking for something a little more off the beaten path, the Olive Plantation is a cozy, family-owned gem with fewer options but plenty of charm. The whole place feels like it’s straight out of a movie set. Plus, who doesn’t love supporting a local family biz?

Temecula Olive Oil Company

Saddle up for a breathtaking horseback ride through the stunning Temecula Valley with Wine Country Trails! Each horse on the ranch is a rescue, lovingly rehabilitated by the owner, who has dedicated her heart to caring for over 50 horses. So, while you're enjoying a picturesque 90-minute tour, you're also supporting a truly meaningful cause.
