Once upon a time, on a hot August night in 2009, two souls destined for eachother crossed paths in a bustling PF Chang’s in Corte Madera, California. Tiarra, with her radiant smile and just the right amount of sass, worked as the hostess, and Michael, the charming and eloquent bartender, was drawn to her like a moth to a flame. Little did they know that this chance encounter would set the stage for a love story that would span over a decade and a half.

As the years passed and the flame grew, Tiarra and Michael discovered a shared passion for travel. Together, they explored the world, creating memories that would last a lifetime. While they were able to venture to numerous locations, four destinations put an imprint in their hearts: Hawaii, Lake Tahoe, Mexico and the beautiful city of San Diego, which would become the backdrop of their most significant journey yet.

San Diego, with its sun-kissed beaches, vibrant energy and busy social scene was the place where Tiarra and Michael decided to embark on their forever together. This city has held witness to their blossoming love and now has the honor of hosting their union with their friends and family by their side.

Throughout the 15 years of courtship, Tiarra and Michael’s journey has led them through the winding streets of San Francisco, the quiet neighborhoods of San Rafael, and eventually to their current home, the picturesque backdrop of Bel Marin Keys, nestled by the tranquil Bay waters.

In 2017, their love expanded to include their adorable fur baby companion, Kona, who brought even more energy and delight into their lives. But, the greatest adventure of all awaited them in mid-2021 when Tiarra and Michael received the joyful news that they were expecting a sweet baby boy. Their hearts brimmed with excitement at the thought of becoming parents and sharing this new chapter of their lives together, with Kona of course.

And so, on January 18, 2022 at 7:26pm, Jordan James Ahmadi made his grand entrance into this world. This arrival wasn’t without its challenges for both mom and baby, but today, he is a happy and healthy boy who adores his mom, dad, and fur brother Kona.

Tiarra and Michael’s love story has been a fairy tale full of laughter, adventures, and unwavering support for each other. Now, as they prepare to say their vows in September of 2024, they can’t wait to see you all there, joining them in celebrating their enduring love and the beautiful family they have built together.
