How They Met

Ricky and Mariana's friendship blossomed in the fall of 2017 when fate brought them together through mutual connections. Their initial encounter sparked a playful banter that would soon ignite into something extraordinary. It all started with a simple Facebook video shared by Ricky, showcasing a whimsical parking lot pillow fight gone viral. Mariana, with her quick wit, playfully suggested they orchestrate their own outdoor pillow battle. Little did they know, this lighthearted jest would evolve into an ambitious plan for a grand-scale pillow fight extravaganza, set in the heart of the bustling Westgate District. Anticipation ran high as the fateful day arrived, but alas, their enthusiasm exceeded the turnout. Despite the humble gathering of only 8 attendees, Ricky and Mariana refused to let disappointment cloud their spirits. Instead, they improvised, embracing the evening with laughter and camaraderie, retreating with their loyal companions to indulge in board games and shared merriment. In that moment, amidst the joy and laughter, Ricky found himself unexpectedly drawn to Mariana in a way he hadn't realized before. Their bond deepened in the ensuing weeks, evolving seamlessly from friendship to something more profound. Fueled by shared laughter and mutual affection, they embarked on a journey of love and companionship, seizing every moment they could together. It was on the memorable date of 11/18/2017 that they officially began their courtship, marking the beginning of a beautiful chapter in their lives. Now, nearly seven years later, as they stand on the threshold of forever, Ricky and Mariana are poised to embark on their greatest adventure yet. With hearts full of love and anticipation, they eagerly anticipate the day they will exchange vows and declare their commitment to one another in the presence of cherished family and friends.
