Our Beginning
We had met at a mutual friends party, and the both of us didn't think much of it at the time. If you are familiar with Ocala you know it is a small town where everybody knows everyone and there are not many places to go. Through our mutual friend group we would on occasion bump paths. We would always find ourselves tucked away from the crowd just chatting away. The sarcasm and playful banter came so natural. At the time it was just innocent friendship with just the right amount of flirtation. Needless to say our journey together was put on hold as life tends to do. Through out the years a combination of moving to different cities, kids and jobs we some how always held an interest. In todays world social media is a wonderful thing when it comes down to the occasional checking in. When it finally came down to reconnecting with one another after 9 years, what better way then a 24 hour first date....Go big or go home (literally and figuratively speaking). For most that could have a very ugly ending. Luckily, for the two of us it was as if no time had passed. The sparks were still there but this time with a more mature view on life and appreciation for each other. The two of us knew there was something worth exploring. At the time we had both lived in different parts of Florida and we knew that long distance can be challenging, especially when starting a new romance. Months had passed of endless phone calls, many miles driving back and forth, and a lot of late night FaceTime conversations. The relationship was growing and fast. Just when we were realizing how important we were becoming to one another, life had thrown another curve ball our way. A little some thing called COVID. With everything shutting down and life doing a complete 180, this made a lot of people in the world feel disconnected, our story though was quite the contrary. We moved in together back to Ocala. A coming full circle if you will. Connecting exactly where we were meant to so many years earlier. This time though as a beautiful blended family of 5 and we are loving every chaotic moment that these last 4 years together have given us. We our so happy to give you insight to the beginning of our story, and can't wait to have you all there to be a part of our NEW beginning as Husband and Wife.

Wedding Party
Jennifer Davis
Matron of Honor
Seeing as though she is my big sister I couldn't imagine her not by my side on my big day. I can honestly say I have learned so much from her. I look up to her in more ways then she realizes. If you know Jennifer you know that she is a force to be reckoned with. Whether its her morbid sense of humor or singing karaoke on the top of her lungs, she will definitely draw you in.
Kristina Sparacino
Bridesmaid
20 years of friendship between us. How lucky am I to have someone who has literally gone through life with me. We have watched each other grow into some pretty incredible women from those two awkward middle schoolers chatting in the cafeteria so many years ago. Though we are opposites we compliment each other in the best ways. Kristina's drive and ambition has always left me in awe. She is my soul sister.
Kristin Turner-Villanueva
Bridesmaid
Kristin is practically family. Though we are not blood she has always been like another sister to me and someone I know I can count on. I was always that annoying little sister she never had. I am so grateful for those summers she spent with us doing all my chores for me.... (not willingly , mind you). Kristin's fun, outgoing, jersey mentality will be sure to keep you on your toes. She is definitely one you want to have in your corner of life.
Jorlyna Pujols
Bridesmaid
Jorlyna is what I like to call my "chicken noodle soup" friend. Any time I've been down on myself she is the friend that will lift me up the fastest. Whether you want to or not her huge heart will force you to see yourself in the best light. She is super caring in every aspect of her life, but don't be fooled because she has some Puerto Rican sass. She will have you amazed by her incredible dance skills as she will definitely be on the dance floor majority of the night.
Samantha Camp
Bridesmaid
Sam and I met at work, when I was training her. If you ask her she will always say I was hard on her, but thats only because I saw the potential in her from the beginning. Since then it has been two years of friendship that has brought so much joy. Sam is super bubbly , incredibly hard working and her infectious personality will be one to keep you laughing.
Timothy Palmer
Best Man
Timothy and I met in prison in the summer of 2012...True story haha. In almost 11 years Palmer and I have gone through hell and back since the academy. Between training, competitions, work and last but not least getting ourselves sprayed with gas on the regular. How do I describe my best man...He is very positive and optimistic, extremely selfless and is always trying to help others. He is my brother from another mother.
Earnie Vazquez
Groomsman
Earnie and I have known each other since the fifth grade. From riding bikes to playing basketball in the streets of Puerto Rico, Earnie has always had my back without any question. He is extremely sincere and always energetic. When we get together it is always like no time has passed. We always seem to make it a good time when getting together.
Rohel Castro
Groomsman
Rohel is my other brother from all the way back to kindergarten. He is a very humble and kind person. I'll admit that he is the better basketball player out of Earnie and I, but I'll never tell him that. Just an overall cool and dope friend to have by my side.
Joel Reyes
Groomsman
We have known each other since 2008, give or take. On several occasions we have even been business partners. He is a very supportive and sincere friend. Joel is the guy that doesn't care if he hurts your feelings and will always say what's on his mind, but only because he cares. We both share being lowkey geeks. Our common interests such as movies, comics, and music always seem to carry our conversation.
Walter Demschock
Groomsman
We had met through mutual friends a while back, but we just clicked naturally. The weird part is we actually lived super close (like 3 miles) to one another before we both moved to Florida and didn't even realize it. It's funny just how small the world is. Walter is always happy and full of life. He is another one that I consider family from day one.
