Our Wedding

Melissa and Carlos's story began on what seemed to be a beautiful, yet ordinary warm summer day in San Francisco. Melissa’s friend, Elisa (shoutout to her impromptu matchmaking skills!), had taken her out for a belated birthday celebration to a trendy new spot downtown and fate decided to have a little fun. As they sipped wine and shared laughs, Carlos walked in for his shift and couldn’t help but notice them at the bar. He was charmed instantly by Melissa and spent the night chatting and making sure their glasses were always topped off. Before they left, Elisa embraced her matchmaking role and wrote Melissa’s number on their receipt. The next day, Carlos reached out, and from that first message, sparks flew. They quickly became inseparable, and they’ve been building their beautiful story together ever since!
