Our Wedding

In November 2019, a few months before the whole world shutdown, Ryan traveled to Portugal. Not quite knowing how transcendent this trip would be, Ryan spent his days falling in love with Lisbon so and writing in a journal he’d purchased there. The journal was filled with gratitude for the experiences that had brought him to this wonderful country, but it also expressed Ryan’s desire (finally!) for commitment and true love. He promised himself he would return to Portugal with the love of his life. Flash forward to February 2021, Francisco is visiting Los Angeles. At Sunday service, Francisco, too, found himself praying for the right person to share his life. This time, he prayed for someone who shared his love of family, someone with faith and someone to share in both the good and bad. These two were truly manifesting their love! Just a few weeks after Francisco’s prayer, Ryan and Francisco met and had their first date at Prosecco Italian kitchen. Over pasta and wine, these two felt an instant connection. After the first date, they were so smitten they met up for multiple dates the following week. They have been by each other’s side ever since. Anyone who has spent time with Ryan and Francisco can feel the genuine connection between them. They complement and balance each other in a beautiful way. After dating for a year and a half, Francisco decided to completely surprise Ryan. Both Ryan and Francisco had declared that neither one would ever propose….but the Moon Pyramid near Mexico City inspired Francisco to drop on blended knee and ask for Ryan’s hand in marriage! Ryan and Francisco always have said “I love you to the moon”, so it was a poetic location to make this new commitment. Ryan was in complete disbelief! We all know how they have loved to prank us so many times with fake proposals…but this time it was genuine! The beauty of Francisco and Ryan’s relationship is the respect, honesty, and unconditional love they share. These two humans have experienced love and pain throughout life. They’ve traveled the world, had adventures all their own, and life has now brought their separate paths together. Having lived life without one another, they can truly appreciate their biggest journey yet - a life shared together!
