How We Met
We first met on a fall night in Hollywood on October 7, 2016, at a live music venue called Sayers Club. What started as a casual conversation quickly turned into an easy, natural connection. A connection that would withstand the test of time. Life eventually took us in different directions, but years later, a familiar face and shared sense of humor (IG) brought us back into each other’s lives. This time, the timing was right. Long phone calls turned into visits, and those visits made it clear; this was something special. Since then, we’ve built a life filled with adventure, laughter, and a shared love of travel. From weekend getaways to unforgettable trips, we’ve explored new places together while creating memories along the way. Just as meaningful has been the way our families embraced us, welcoming each of us with open arms and making it clear that this relationship was something worth celebrating. On April 14, 2023, Branden proposed, and we knew without hesitation that this was the forever we had been finding our way toward all along. We can’t wait to bring together the people we love most for a fun, unforgettable celebration in Cabo San Lucas as we start the next chapter of our journey—together.

Question
READ THIS!!
Answer
After you get through security at the airport, proceed to the outside exit. People will try to stop you and offer to assist you. DO NOT TALK TO THEM! They are trying to scam you or trying to get you to buy into one of many "travel" or "business" opportunities. No need to be polite. Just look straight ahead and keep walking. There are two exits that lead to the same place. You will not need any assistance with finding the correct exit.
