You are invited to our wedding! We have been best friends since the age of 14 and grew up falling in love with each other. Along our journey together, we've met so many people to share our love along the way. We have so much love for our family and friends, but a limited amount of space to fit our big beautiful blend of people that mean most to us. Because you have greatly impacted our life in one way or another and have watched us grow, please honor us with your presence at our celebration of love!

We met as kids in high school, each in our own relationship and little world. I was a bratty kid who thought I knew better than everyone else. She was the bubbly girl that made friends everywhere she went. Eventually Joyce wiggled her way into my life and we became friends. No matter what I did she was always there, just trying to make me happy without judgement. I started to grow feelings for this girl, but all I ever got was "You're such a great friend. My best friend." I knew my mission at this point - to make this girl like me the way I was starting to like her. It took a lot of charming with my powerful mustache and persistent flirting, but after a few years she stopped hiding her feelings for me. We started dating, much to the relief of everyone else who said "FINALLY!" Joyce taught me how to let down my walls, that it was ok to express my emotions, and that I didn't have to worry about always being right. She helped me grow up into the man I am today, and I'd like to believe that I've helped her grow as well. Our lives have been a rollercoaster, and God knows we've been tested time and time again. But throughout it all, our love for each other grew stronger. We slowly became adults in a new city, started careers we're passionate about, and made thousands of memories. And now we start a new chapter in our lives, tackling this world as husband and his ride or die chica. In my opinion, the real journey is only just beginning.

We were 14, worried about what we would wear in high school, trying to not embarrass ourselves in front of each other during gym class, and hoping we would survive high school with some dignity. Once I met Estevan, I knew high school wouldn't be as bad as the movies projected it to be. He was my best friend, he walked me to every class I had, I shared my lunches with him, and we ended the school nights laughing on the phone with each other. He was a true gentleman. He always knew what to say and how to make me smile, but he also knew when to just listen when I needed someone the most. We were inseparable. Eventually I realized he was always more than a best friend. He became my high school sweetheart, my long distance love during college years, and now I'll marry him to be his wife. We've come a long way, but we have so much more to look forward to together.
