Dear Family & Friends, We have been monitoring the progress of the Covid-19 Pandemic closely, and out of concern for the health of the people we love very much, we have made the painful decision of cancelling our wedding reception. Due to the unpredictable nature of the virus, we do not feel safe postponing to a date prior to the availability of a vaccine. We are proceeding with the marriage ceremony as planned, but limiting attendance to immediate family only. We invite our guests to live-stream our ceremony online by using the link provided below. We apologize for this method of contact, but in order to limit non-essential travel and to abide by social distancing practices, we felt this method of communication was in the best interest of the community. We will plan to celebrate as soon as it is safe to do so. Sending love, and wishing good health! ❤️ Please copy and paste this link to your web browser: https://venue.streamspot.com/event/MjIyMjY2MQ== Passcode: 5998CabGar

Grace and Matt met each other as teenagers in the Filipino Catholic Community Youth Group. It would not be until their early twenties when fate brought them together again by working at a sports store in the Temecula mall. Shortly after re-kindling their friendship, they began to date and have been together and inseparable for 9 years! During the 9 years together they moved to San Diego to pursue their careers. Grace works as a BI Developer for a BioTech company, and Matt works for San Diego Mesa College Athletics as a Certified Athletic Trainer. Soon after moving in together they made a pawesome decision and decided to adopt a dog. They rescued their dog Nipsy from the San Diego Humane Society, and have been blessed by her company for the past five years.

Grace and Matt got engaged on August 1st, 2018! Matt was very persistent to take Grace on a romantic dinner on August 1st, and found any excuse to avoid a home cooked meal that Grace offered to prepare. Grace was a little suspicious since it was a Wednesday evening but agreed. Matt picked Grace up from work and took her to a locals only beach in Bird Rock and popped the question! Grace said YES and they watched the sunset and enjoyed their romantic dinner date in La Jolla. Matt chose to propose on August 1st because he wanted Grace to enjoy the start of her birthday month with an unforgettable gift.
