From Stage to Life
Once upon a time Bethany was cast in The Fiddler on the Roof at Don Bluth's Front Row Theatre in Scottsdale, AZ as Chava. They still needed to cast a Fyedka and Jorge figured he could audition for the part since he had nothing else to do. It was only when he walked into the rehearsal room that Bethany knew her Fyedka might turn into something more than just friends. On a two show day, on the way to a dinner with the cast in between shows, Jorge asked Bethany out on a date. That was the start of something new, with the first being a long distance relationship. Bethany took to Ohio for a summer stock show while George went & helped her settle in, supported her, and text her everyday for 4 months. After several years of dating, Jorge wanted to pop the question on Bethany's favorite day of the year...Christmas Eve, 2020. To Bethany, it was the best Christmas gift a woman could receive! And now, after four years, they are finally getting married!

A suit is preferable for men, and women should opt for a cocktail dress or formal jumpsuit.

Things To Do
Tempe Marketplace
Jorge & I are well-known by our family & friends to go to Harkins Theater at Tempe Marketplace to see the premiere of Marvel Movies at the Cine Capri! Before or after the movie, we tend to walk around and peruse the many shops there. We might even get a treat at the Churro store or even the cinnamon bun store next to the theater!
Mesa Riverview
There is a chimney cone store here that Jorge & I went to for a little treat one cool fall night and it was delicious! There are other stores you can peruse along with a movie theater if you want to see a movie you haven't seen yet.
Old Town Scottsdale
When Jorge & I first started dating, he was doing a show at Desert Stages, after his rehearsal we would walk around Old Town Scottsdale. We would have dinner at Grimaldi's and then dessert at the Sugar Bowl right next door, check it out if you have time!
Desert Botanical Garden
Jorge & Bethany had one of their photo shoot dates near the desert botanical gardens. At this time, they have festivals that honor Hispanic Heritage month that are beautiful! If you enjoy the beauty of Arizona, you will love walking around the garden.
