We first met in high school at 15 and 16 years old in French class, and our friendship was instantly special. Although we were best friends back then, it wasn’t until our early twenties that we officially became a couple. Since then, it’s been an incredible ride! Our love of travel has taken us around the globe—from Italy and England to Greece and Mexico and beyond. We’ve cherished every adventure, including a year living in France and exploring countless new places. Each journey has brought us closer and added to our story. Now, we’re excited to kick off this new chapter and celebrate with you all! Thanks for being part of our journey and making our story even more memorable. Costa Rica has long been on our bucket list, and we felt the pura vida mindset would perfectly set the tone for our new chapter (plus, a tropical beach in April sounded pretty great!). Pura vida is a Spanish phrase that directly translates to “pure life” and encourages the appreciation of life’s simple treasures and not taking anything for granted. We’re thrilled to celebrate our love in a small, private ceremony in beautiful Tamarindo, where we can embrace the pura vida spirit and explore stunning beaches, rainforests, volcanoes, and more.
