See you in Belize

The happy couple met at Hanger 24 in Redlands,CA. It just so happened that their meeting was accidental as they had no idea they had mutual friends. They spent the time they had at the brewery making small talk as Erika was very shy. She thought he was cute and was interested in getting to know him more. That same night, unknowing,the brides sister (nika) gave Jonathan the nudge to go to downtown Redlands, where they then discovered how much they truly had in common. They spent the rest of the night getting to know each other which led to Jonathan asking for Erika’s phone number and setting up their first date a week later. They have been together for 4 years before he FINALLY asked for her hand in marriage.

During their time on their dream vacation in Tokyo, Japan, Jonathan carried the ring with him at all times. It never crossed Erika's mind that Jonathan had been planning this special moment for two years. They spent their last day in Japan at Tokyo Disney where he expressed how much he loved her and got down on his knee to propose. While Erika ugly cried, she nodded yes but the word couldn't come out as she was still in shock ( what felt like forever to him was only a few seconds). After a few moments to gather all of her emotions, she was finally able to say yes and gave him her hand. What a perfect way to end their dream vacation. They are excited to share their next journey in life celebrating their marriage with you all!
