Our Wedding

07-25-15 The First Day 

After spending a year as friends and co-workers, Jose asked Lindsey out for happy hour drinks at World of Beer at Lake Eola in Downtown Orlando.&nbsp;Neither of us expected "just a happy hour date" to turn into a&nbsp;6-hour-long first date full of laughter and endless conversations. It was the best and last first date of our lives.&nbsp;

12-24-17 The "Yes" Day 

Two and a half years went by. We went on several adventures together - from California to New York, The Bahamas and St. Maarten. We grew close to each others families and went on each others family vacations. On September 3, 2017,&nbsp; we were on one of those trips with Lindsey's entire family in Hilton Head, SC when Jose asked Lindsey's father if he could someday marry his daughter. A few months later, on Christmas Eve,&nbsp;he popped the question in one of the most meaningful places to us - our very first place together - our home.&nbsp;

02-02-19 The Best Day 

This is the day we have looked forward to for so long. Having all of you - our closest friends in family, come together in one place to help us celebrate the best day of our lives. We can't wait to share our love with you, dance with you, and create lasting memories as our two families become one!&nbsp;

The Timeline 

Our Story

Hotel Accommodations

Christine is my younger sister and only sibling. When we were younger and used to bicker with one another, we never fully believed our parents when they would tell us we would be the best of friends someday. Now that we've grown up, we finally realize that they were right. Her priorities are her faith, her family and her friends. Christine may be younger, but for this, she is my role model.&nbsp;  

Christine

Joseph

Jose

I met Margo at UCF when we were in an honor fraternity,  Phi Sigma Pi, together. Along with my other bridesmaids, Brittany and Jessica, the four of us&nbsp;have been best friends ever since. Margo and I eventually became roommates in downtown Orlando after we graduated college. Even though she is living her best life in  San Francisco now, we keep in touch almost daily. Fun fact: she could probably star in a re-make of 27 Dresses because she is everybody's best friend and has been a bridesmaid in more weddings than anybody I&nbsp;know. Here's to another dress you can "definitely shorten and wear again!"

Margo

John 

This special lady and I met at UCF in Phi Sigma Pi as well! She was my "big" - basically my mentor and ultimately one of my best friends.&nbsp;Ironically enough, we went to the same high school and graduated a year apart, but somehow never met until we attended the second largest university in the country. I had the privilege to stand beside her on her wedding day as one of her bridesmaids and couldn't wait for the day when she would get to return the favor!&nbsp; 

Brittany

One of my college roommates,  and final  member of the "4 best friends" group! Jessica was the first friend I had met in Phi Sigma Pi. She is the most sincere,&nbsp;warm and welcoming human being, and the best listener.&nbsp; She is an incredible military wife, as well as mother to the sweetest two children - Emma and Owen.&nbsp;  

Jessica

The only thing better than one sister is TWO sisters!&nbsp;Christina is Jose's younger sister and Lindsey's new sister!&nbsp;She is currently studying psychology at UCF, and Jose often refers to her as the smartest sibling because of how hard-working she truly is. She also plays mom to the most adorable puppy in the world named Romeo, and if our venue allowed it, Romeo would also be walking down the aisle.&nbsp;
