Countdown to Castillo

Reena and Johnny met in a modern way—with a little help from a dating app called Inner Circle. Their first date was in July 2019 in Manhattan, where they shared a bowl of ramen at Ajisen (Johnny helped Reena finish her noodles, of course) and then headed to Barcade for classic arcade games and crisp draft beer. From the very beginning, their connection felt natural—effortless, even. Their friends still joke that they never made it past Inner Circle’s screening questions, and that fate clearly had its own plans, bringing just the two of them together. Over time, their bond grew stronger, rooted in a shared love for gaming, rock music, spontaneous adventures, and a deep sense of spirituality. In January 2020, Johnny asked Reena to be his girlfriend. In 2021, they traveled to Jamaica for their first international trip together—celebrating Johnny's dear friend Stephen’s wedding and marking the beginning of many travels in their relationship. Since then, Reena and Johnny journeyed to several countries, including Italy, Greece, Turkey, Canada, Iceland and Greenland. In November 2024, Johnny proposed during the couple’s housewarming party, surrounded by friends and love in the home they had just begun to build together. The proposal was made even more special by the fact that Reena’s father, a jeweler, handcrafted her engagement ring and later, both of their wedding bands—making each piece a treasured symbol of their journey. By the time they say “I do,” Reena and Johnny will have spent seven wonderful years growing, laughing, and building a life together—complete with their two beloved fur babies, Nero and Helios. They hope to inspire others with a love grounded in joy, commitment, and faith—honoring the beauty of marriage and the sacred promise of growing a family together. Most of all, Reena and Johnny are incredibly grateful to share this moment with their dearest family and friends. Your presence means the world to them, and they are so thankful that you are traveling to witness their wedding day. They can’t wait to celebrate with you as they celebrate their newlywed bliss all around the Panama Canal!
