Every great love story begins with a spark- Ours begins with crocodile tears because one couldn’t pay their rent on time followed by a date that lasted 24 hours. Alysia and Maddie met in the Summer of 2022. From the moment they met, something just clicked. Maddie’s quick wit and wild spirit met with Alysia’s warmth and open heart, and what a simple connection quickly grew into something deeper, more powerful- Something that felt like home. But their love story wasn’t just between the two of them- it truly began to blossom the day Maddie met Karsen, Alysia’s daughter. Watching Maddie step into Karsen’s life with kindness, patience and love deepened Alysia’s heart in ways words could never quite capture. Together, they weren’t just falling in love- they were building a family. Through late night talks, shared dreams and quiet moments filled with meaning, they have built a life rooted in joy, trust and unconditional love. They have faced life hand-in-hand, growing not just as partners but as parents, and the kind of family that chooses each other, every single day. On October 11, 2025, we stand before our loved ones to vow and continue that journey- not just as wives but as a united family: Alysia, Maddie and Karsen. This day isn’t just about “I do”- it’s about we always will. With full hearts, we can’t wait to begin this new chapter as The Garcia’s.
