Our Wedding

Our first date was at a Tropical Smoothie! We instantly bonded over our love for music and creativity. Since then, we’ve been inseparable, spending our time watching our favorite shows, playing video games,&nbsp;trying new recipes, exploring local coffee shops, hiking scenic trails, and dreaming up future adventures together.

Our Early Days

Fast forward to after we both are all grown up, Jose popped the question! It was so romantic and intricately planned. And, of course, the answer was YES!

The Proposal

Now, we can’t wait to say ‘I do’ together and then celebrate with all of you by our side. Thank you for being part of our journey—we’re so lucky to have you in our lives!

Looking Forward
