Puerto Vallarta 2020!

We met working together at Elephant Bar and Restaurant in Cupertino August 2013. Less than a few months later we had our awesome first date hiking in the Santa Cruz mountains, followed with dinner at Red Robin. Fast forward a few years to us moving into our first apartment together, then a year later bringing home our two furr babies Kairi and Zelda. August 11th, 2018 Jon orchestrated the perfect proposal (while previously asking my dad for permission), he got down on one knee at Le Castella (a castle on the beach), in Calabria, Italy in front of my family. Cousin Rosie from grandmas hometown, Castelsilano had champagne and flutes hiding in her backpack to celebrate. Little did we know, the family dinner planned for after, would end up being our engagement party thrown by my amazing parents, with 70 of our relatives from Italy. Cousin Rosie got us a cake, a beautiful card, had the family pitch in to gift me a necklace, and Jon a bracelet welcoming him to the family. These last five and a half years together have been amazing, and we can’t wait to say I do with our loved ones in paradise. Alvarez Wedding 4/20/20.
