From First Glance to Forever

Eleven years ago, our journey began as high school sweethearts. We started as best friends, spending hours talking, laughing, and discovering each other’s quirks. Over time, that friendship blossomed into something deeper, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. Through the ups and downs of college life and all the changes that came with it, our love only grew stronger. After graduation, we embarked on a new adventure together, moving across the country to Arizona. There, we built a life filled with new experiences—traveling, exploring, and making unforgettable memories. One of our most joyful moments was adopting our sweet toy poodle, Coco, who has become the heart of our little family. Over the years, we’ve embraced each other’s cultures, celebrating the richness of our Mexican and Indian heritages and the beautiful blend that has shaped our relationship. Together, we’ve learned that love knows no borders, and it has brought us closer in ways we never imagined. Our love story took a new chapter on a spontaneous road trip to La Jolla, California. We even almost found ourselves in Mexico by accident! But it all led to a perfect moment on the cliffs of La Jolla Cove, as a hazy sunset painted the sky in shades of gold and pink. That’s when Ivan got down on one knee and asked the question that would change our lives forever. It was the easiest “yes” I’ve ever said. And now, here we are, ready to start our forever. We can’t wait to celebrate with you all!
