Our Story

Brando, a young Mexican boy living in Denver Colorado went to the club with some friends. When he arrived, he found out his friends brought a cute new girl from Wyoming, Hillari. The night was filled with grooving dance moves, fun, laughter, and lots of great memories. They stayed in touch through social media, until one day, Hillari posted about Sphynx Cat, to which Brando’s roommate had three of them. A picture of Brando with a Sphynx cat started the conversation that led to a date. Since Hillari lived in Wyoming, Brando made the trip for a day full of activities together. The date went well, as that date led to a relationship that brought us here. Brando proposed to Hillari on December 31st, 2020. Their love for Harry Potter and other nerdy things brought them together, therefore the Hogwarts Castle was the perfect spot to get on one knee. Hillari thought it was just another adventure when Brando pulled out a copy of the Half-Blood Prince. The book contained pictures of their most recent adventures leading to a hidden golden snitch. The snitch stated, ‘I open at the close’, the closing of one chapter, but the beginning of a new one. The snitch was opened with a wand necklace that Hillari was wearing, revealing the ring. We can't wait to celebrate with you at our wedding ceremony and reception in September!
