We met during a dreamy PNW summer, while working on a community theatre (#ART) production of The Little Mermaid, one month before Emilio was going to move to New York City. It was maybe just supposed to be a cute, summer fling, but there was something special for us that couldn't be denied. Thus, we began a multi-year long distance relationship that withstood the test of time. Not even global pandemics, college and career changes, or the growing pains of young adulthood could keep our love from being strong. Through it all, our friendship grew and the art we created together has been beautiful. Today, we live together in Scottsdale, AZ with our handsome pup, Rocky, working toward our shared dreams and goals. And in this stage of life, we are ready to commit to each other for eternity and are over the moon excited to share this moment with our family and friends.
