LOVE

HOW WE MET: For anyone reading who hasn't had the privilege of witnessing the glow up of the happy couple, Esteban and Janet met as members of the high school band. Esteban was a saxophone; Janet was a french horn; the making of a fairy tale. They began dating in the fall of 2014 during their senior year of high school but managed to stick together through high school, college (including a year of long distance and then 3 years together at the University of Arkansas), moving in together and starting their careers in Dallas, adopting 2 wild pups, and navigating a cross-country move to Massachusetts. Through the joys and challenges of growing up together, they still say that they are best friends and wouldn't change any part of their journey together. ENGAGEMENT: Fast forward almost 7 years, Janet and Esteban had decided it was time to leave the Texas heat and move to Boston. Among a few house hunting trips in the spring of 2021, they took a weekend trip with some dear friends to Martha's Vineyard. Now, Janet knew that Esteban had a ring, as she had helped pick it out a few months earlier. This meant she was basically ALWAYS suspicious, but Esteban managed to surprise her on a beautiful beach by asking the question. She answered with a cartwheel and by screaming "It's about time!" ELOPEMENT: So spoiler alert - Janet and Esteban are already married. They didn't want to let the threat of covid and the stress of big event planning overshadow the beginning of their marriage, so together with their immediate family, they went back to Martha's Vineyard. In a short and sweet private ceremony on the beach, they committed to continue being each other's supporters and partners. They are so excited to celebrate their first year of marriage in their home town together with you, their family and friends!
