Our Wedding

It all started on a hot summer day in Michigan. We were both attending a music festival called Electric Forest and in a sea of over 40 thousand people, we happened to be camped next to each other. Maybe it was chance, destiny, or fate. Maybe it was pure, old fashioned, dumb luck! Either way, we found each other and the rest is history. Our story started as friends but blossomed into a bond that we're happy to celebrate with all of you! Todo comenzó en un caluroso día de verano en Michigan. Fuimos a un festival de música llamado Electric Forest y en un mar de más de 40 mil personas, estábamos en tiendas de campaña, uno al lado del otro. ¡Quizás fue casualidad, el destino, o tal vez fue suerte! De cualquier manera, nos encontramos y el resto es historia. ¡Nuestra historia comenzó como amigos pero se convirtió en un amor, el cual queremos compartir y celebrar con todos ustedes!
