We met 16 years ago in summer school. Unbeknownst to us at the time, meeting in chemistry class was both serendipitous and the beginning to a great story. Like most beginnings, things began as a friendship between two kids, living their lives unaware and unconcerned about what the future held. However, as life often does, both our chaotic/messy worlds collided when we decided to take a spontaneous walk through downtown after school one day. Both of us - born and raised in downtown LA - wandered the streets on a warm summer day. The city we'd grown up in suddenly felt new and unexplored. At the time, we didn't fully realize it, but now, many years later, we understand that beauty in life isn't just found in places and experiences, but in who you share them with. Fast forward to 2024, we got engaged in the place that means so much to us: our patio, where we've shared countless memories with family and friends. It was intimate and perfect- just the two of us, surrounded by a heart of red rose petals, with "A + B" at the center. We are excited to officially be Mr. & Mrs., and cannot wait to begin this next chapter with all of you by our side.
