What started as colleagues quickly became something much more. Over four unforgettable years of working side by side at Tropical Smoothie Cafe, a deep friendship blossomed—one built on laughter, trust, and countless conversations about life, love, heartbreak, and everything in between (usually over smoothies and spreadsheets). We were each other’s biggest cheerleaders, confidants, and sounding boards—not just in life, but in business too. Together, we navigated challenges, chased ambitious goals, and poured our hearts into growing what would become 22 thriving cafes. Through every high and low, we stood by one another. And then… something shifted. Life placed us both at a crossroads—single, open-hearted, and just a little curious—and we began to see each other in a whole new light. One unforgettable work trip, a little help from fate, and a boss trying to cut costs by making us share a room set the stage for a spark we couldn’t ignore. From that moment on, everything changed. We fell—fast, fearlessly, and fully. What had always felt natural became electric. What was once friendship turned into the most beautiful, passionate love either of us has ever known. As much as we tried to ignore it, it was impossible to stay away from each other. Since then, we’ve built a life together, a bond rooted in trust, laughter, hustle, and heart. Each day is an adventure—filled with early mornings, late nights, and plenty of smoothies—but more importantly, filled with joy, growth, and unwavering love. On November 7, 2020, we officially said, “Let’s give this a try.” On November 7, 2023, we said, “Yes, forever.” And on November 7, 2025, in front of the people who mean the most to us, we’ll say, “I do”—becoming Mr. & Mrs. Wilson. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter of our love story with you. With all our hearts, Jessica & Jose
