We met while attending Apollo High School, sort of... We shared mutual friends, who were like family, and met each other through the group. Because Ashley was much younger than our group of friends, but we befriended her and look at us now!
Thanks to Facebook, we reunited and went to dinner as friends to catch up. After dinner Fernando insisted we check out a local night club that was known for it's Latin flare. We danced the night away and the rest is history!
Fernando joined me on a business trip to Sedona, AZ. While there, we visited places that held special meaning to Fernando. Unfortunately, the proposal site Fernando was planning on was reserved for a private event. After attempting to find a new proposal place quite a few times, Fernando decided to wait until the next morning to pop the question on a planned hike. While we were heading back to our car to leave the Tlaquepaque, we went to make a wish in the fountain and as I turned to walk away, Fernando was down on one knee. I was beyond emotional and surprised and answered yes through an ugly cry face! As it turns out, Fernando decided then was the right time because a stranger happened to be taking scenery photos from the second floor. Somehow Fernando managed to ask him to capture the moment it all went down and he did! The stranger, who was actually a photographer on his honeymoon from Chicago, captured the entire thing and later shared the photographs with us! - Check them out in the photos tab We can't wait to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you!
