the future mancusos

Our love story began in 2017 at a local college bar. It might sound like a familiar tale, but for us, it was nothing short of magical. We’ve always believed in love at first sight and that timing is everything, and our story is a testament to that belief. We met at Taylor’s Bar and Grill a now-closed but once-iconic spot for University of Oregon students. Our connection was instant and electric, leading to several wonderful dates. Three months and countless shared moments later, we officially became a couple, realizing that what we had was something truly special. Since then, our journey together has been filled with unforgettable adventures. We’ve traveled to new places, moved in together, and spent quality time with our families and friends. Winery dates, late nights out, and cozy evenings cooking meals at home have all deepened our bond and enriched our lives, making our love story uniquely ours. On September 30th, 2023, we began a new chapter in our love story. In a moment that felt like a dream, Dariano got down on one knee and proposed at Sunset Cliffs in San Diego, a place that holds a special spot in our hearts. San Diego has been our favorite city to visit year after year, so it felt only fitting that this significant moment in our lives happened there. As we look back, every adventure, every shared laugh, and every challenge we’ve faced together has led us to this unforgettable day. Now, we’re beyond excited to say that on September 6th, 2025, we’ll be standing before our loved ones to exchange vows and begin our journey as husband and wife. We can’t wait to celebrate our love and start this new chapter together, knowing that our future will be just as magical as the story we’ve written so far. As you join us to celebrate our union, know that your presence is a cherished part of our journey, and we eagerly look forward to making even more beautiful memories with you on our wedding day.
