We're so excited to celebrate with you!

Toby and Naomi first met spring of 2015. Naomi was just beginning her junior year of college and Toby had just accepted a full time position at Mercedes as a new Engineer. Toby had temporary accommodations in Playa del Rey and was looking for a new gym membership. Luckily for Toby, Naomi was working just right down the street at her part time job at LA Fitness. One afternoon Toby came to her gym and they got to talking and were immediately charmed by each other and exchanged contact information. They spoke for a few weeks until they went on their first date in Marina del Rey at Mother's Beach. They planned on a beautiful sunset dinner at Cheesecake Factory, however, upon arrival they found out it would be a 2 and a half hour wait to dine in. So Naomi and Toby made the best out of it and decided to lay out a blanket on the beach and just talk and get to know each other. Their conversations were so good that they didn't even end up going to have dinner, but instead they simply enjoyed the sunset together in each other's company. In these special moments, even though they didn't know it yet, they began to fall deeply in love with each other. And that's when their love story would begin...

For winter vacation and Naomi's birthday, the couple decided to take a trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Toby had arranged a beautiful sunset dinner on the beach Dec. 21, 2019 for the two to enjoy. Toby carefully stored a special small box in his coat pocket without Naomi having any clue. They had a beautiful evening on the beach during dinner. All the while, Naomi had no idea for what was to come. Before dinner even arrived, Toby made an announcement to Naomi that he had an "early birthday present" and pulled out a Christmas wrapped large box. Naomi didn't think it was a ring box initially because it was too big to be in her mind, and she thought it was a necklace or bracelet. Naomi happily unwrapped the box, then Toby quickly took the box back and confidently stood up and proudly walked around the table, then kneeled down to ask Naomi "Will you marry me and spend the rest of your life with me?" With tears in both their eyes, Naomi so joyfully said "yes!" They shared a kiss and those viewing from the other tables cheered and clapped. This was the best night of Naomi and Toby's lives, and this would only be the start of many more happy days to come. (See the photos from our proposal on our photos page)
