Our Wedding

Timmy and I officially met in the summer of 2019 through mutual friends we shared from high school. We spent the summer getting to know one another better with each summer hangout we had with our friends. We spent nearly every day together between early mornings and late nights talking, playing nintendo smash on the switch and everything in between. Eventually, we became so close that everyone assumed we were already dating, which we technically were minus the label because a certain someone who will not be named was being silly lol.&nbsp;

Chapter I: Friends

On October 2, 2021, we finally became a couple! Tim took me on our second date to the San Jose Water Lantern Festival and we ended the night as boyfriend and girlfriend. We could have been going on our one year anniversary at that point, but I have always said he was well worth the wait. Timmy has taught me so much patience over the years and waiting for him to be completely ready to commit to me was worth it every single day. It feels like our dating stage was forever ago and also just yesterday. We both got to support one another throughout nursing school, spent numerous occasions and holidays with each other’s families, gone on fun trips together, and so much more.

Chapter II: Dating

The day finally came when Timmy and I moved in together and it has absolutely been the best feeling in the world to go from saying “goodnight and see you tomorrow” to waking up and going to sleep right next to you. Throughout the years we have battled with opposite and crazy schedules, but always knowing your presence is always near makes me feel so happy and safe.

Chapter III: Moving in Together

I SAID YES!!! I know, shocker shocker, but we got engaged! On June 3, 2025 Timmy got on one knee and popped the question! Being proposed to in Venice, Italy right by the water was beyond magical and special to us because all of our important moments together were near the water. I could tell Timmy was nervous the entire day because he spilled three different things on me during the day and he could not stop smiling at me (which is not all that different, but somehow it was). We were upgraded to fiancée and fiancé, and yes we cannot stop calling each other that.

Chapter IV: The Proposal 

Here we are, nearing our wedding day aka the beginning of forever. I know I speak for the both of us, but we cannot wait to spend the rest of our lives together, building a family, traveling the world, and cuddling in each others arms. Lastly, we would just like to say how much we love and appreciate every single one of you for coming together in our honor to celebrate us and our love whether you have known us for long or not, we would not be here together without the endless support we have from our loved ones.

Chapter V: Forever + Always

Our Story

Our Wedding Party

She's more than just my mum, she's truly my best friend. It is such an honor to be her daughter and to have her by my side today and every day. She supports and encourages me in everything I do, and especially when it comes to marrying the love of my life.

Sangita Patel

My best friend and a friendship that started all the way back from middle school. We saw each other grow up and supported one another. No matter how things got in life, we kept our relationship strong till this day.

Julian Soriano

Words cannot describe how special the bond we have with one another is because we have grown up as sisters my entire life and I have never imagined this day without you by my side. From owning Sparkle Spa to getting matching tattoos, we truly do everything with each other.

Marissa Laer

He is more than just a brother in law but my actual older brother. Throughout these years, he has supported me and gave me strength to push through. He truly has a soft and caring soul that never left my side.

Anthony Macias

My other lifelong sister, I have loved being your bad influence even though we all know you are far more wild than I am. You are the reason that I became a big sister, and I could not have asked for a better little sister and bestie to be with me always.

Talyn Steffens

A brother from another mother. The amount of times you gave my life so much laughter and joy is uncountable. Our relationship just synced up so perfectly from our music taste and the games we play.

Inigo Jaque

The McLaren to my Ferrari, I am so glad we instantly became besties. While we have only known each other for a few years now, it feels like we were always meant to be in each other's lives. I love yapping about F1, reading, our bridal eras and all things girlie with you!

Cristina "Crissy" Chavez-Merrill

He has a pure and genuine energy that everyone can sense around him. The support and endless happiness you have brought into my life makes me truly appreciate our friendship. A blessed and heaven sent individual, truly.

Alex Sia

While I may not have any actual sisters of my own, you have always been my big sister since the day that we met. No matter where or when in the world, you have always gone out of your way to be my light (and peace from the chaos of brothers).

Annie Bivek

These three little cuties (and troublemakers) are Tim's nephews and watching them grow up has brought so much laughter and joy into our lives. It amazes us every day how big and independent you all are now. We love being your Tito and Tita so much and we cannot wait to give you more cousins to play with in the future.
