It is with extremely heavy hearts that we must inform you that we have postponed our wedding reception that was to take place on 12/19/20. We did not make this decision lightly but wanted to make the responsible choice due to the exponential increase in COVID-19 cases in the last few weeks. We will be getting married in an intimate ceremony in Frisco on 12/5/20 so that we can start our married life together. We hope that you will be able to join us for a vow renewal and one-year anniversary celebration on 12/11/21 at our original venue. New Invitations will be sent next year.

Jeanne and I first hit it off using the Hinge dating app where Jeanne liked one of my pictures initiating a conversation where I followed up with the (2nd) most important question ever…“Backstreet Boys or *NSYNC?” unfortunately Jeanne was Team *NSYNC, but my response was “well you’re cute and you went to Tech, so I’ll let that slide.” The first “date” occurred when I invited Jeanne to go to a trivia night with a few of my friends but “conveniently” all of them bailed on me. That night not a single question was answered for trivia night as we just talked and got to know each other as hours flew by. At the end of the night, I walked Jeanne to her car and tried to go in for a kiss but Jeanne turned away and I awkwardly ended up kissing the top of her head. To this day we cringe about that interaction.

On December 28th, 2019, Ricardo’s parents were in town and it was going to be the first time they met Jeanne’s parents, and with both of us being such family-oriented people, Ricardo thought it would be a great time to pop the question! Leading up the proposal I reached out to some of our good friends in San Antonio to come to join us so that they could capture the big moment. I was nervous but honestly, the biggest worry I had going into the big question was whether or not I was going to rip my pants!! While getting ready for the evening, I walked out to the garage and did some lunges to practice and to make sure that the pants weren’t going to split. Then we headed to the Pearl! After a few drinks at La Gloria, we were off to Hotel Emma for a few cocktails. It was so pretty with all of the Christmas lights so we decided to stop and take some family pictures. This is when I pulled Jeanne aside and professed my love for her and got on one knee and asked her to marry me, rip free. 🙂
