Let's Celebrate!

“How did you guys meet?” We get this question a lot and we always end up looking at each other and simply say, “We met through work.” But as simple as that sentiment sounds, it doesn’t convey the true and gradual love story that unfolded between us through knowing looks and giddy smiles. We both worked in the events industry and had odd hours. Though we saw each other in passing, it was rare we were at the same job site. And when we did see each other, we kept it cordial and professional. But one day, Carlos finally made the move, and asked if he could reach out sometimes to talk about things OTHER than work. Aiko was pleasantly surprised, and the rest is history. Through several text exchanges and long phone calls, we got to know each other. We prioritized time together even though we had crazy work schedules. And eventually, our relationship blossomed into something beautiful, fun, and steadfast. We even survived a tough pandemic year, comforting and supporting one another. Though every day is not perfect, we couldn’t imagine our lives without each other. So when we get asked how we got together, we smile and laugh because we get reminded how this connection caught even us by surprise! But deep in our hearts, we always knew. As cliche as it sounds, we knew we would fall in love. We knew the moment we locked eyes, there was that spark! It’s been three years since we started dating, and we are ecstatic that we will be Mr. and Mrs. Cabrera in less than 3 months! We are so thankful for our dearest family and friends for their unconditional love and support. We can’t wait to celebrate with you all! Love, Carlos and Aiko
