How we metHow we met

First comes tattoo, then comes marriage

Our love story began in the most unexpected way, back in 2015, during a tattoo house call at the Castillo family home. There, amidst laughter and art, I met Manuel—the handsome and ambitious man who would soon captivate my heart. From that moment, intrigue drew me to him, and it felt like we had an unspoken connection, as if we had known each other for years. Our first date was unforgettable, filled with excitement during Dark Harbor at The Queen Mary. Surrounded by the thrilling atmosphere of a freak show circus act, we discovered our shared passions and values. It was a beautiful blend of spontaneity and deep conversations that left me longing for more. Fast forward to a magical night on December 3rd, 2024 at the Queen Mary, where Manuel, ever the romantic, asked me to be his partner in life. With the stunning view of Long Beach behind us, he invited me to continue this adventure as Mrs. Lopez. As we continue to grow together, our dreams are simple yet profound: building a loving home, seizing every moment, and growing old in love. Thank you for being part of our journey. We are grateful for each of you as we start this next chapter together.
