7 years ago we met in Costa Mesa, CA where we fell in love. Although life as we know it is rarely that simple. Unfortunately, 7 years is a lot of stories to memoriliaze here so let's sum it up. We have the kindest, cutest, goofball of a son. God answers prayers, miracles happen, and love truly does conquer all. We have walked through the flames and made it out on the other side. We won't go into the details of our "boring" past. Although, our journey over the last 6 months is too good not to share. Romantic Comedies have nothing on the narrative of our lives. Grab some popcorn and buckle up, its been a bumpy ride!

A tale as old as time. He planned it, it rained. He rescheduled, she got sick. Multiply that cycle by 6, add in some Murphy's Law, sprinkle in some good old fashioned nerves, throw in a fake family holiday and you've got yourself the most entertaining, dysfunctional, heart warming and sincere proposal a girl could ask for. All of the crazy details aside, he made it on one knee, popped the question, and she said yes!

Just when you thought our roller coaster was slowing down, global pandemic strikes. I'm telling you, you can't make this stuff up! We held out for as long as we could, but as the reports got worse it began to sink in that we wouldn't be able to have the wedding we want in July. The wedding when our family, friends, loved ones, can come together in the same state for the first time ever! The wedding where we get to FINALLY say "I do" in front of the people who have loved us and helped us get through this crazy ride. And so, we postponed. The venue only had 3 open dates. September 11th - umm...this feels wrong. pass. Friday the 13th - HA! with our luck? hard pass! And November 6th - process of elimination for the win.

This was actually a very difficult decision for us. It was weeks of back and forth on who would be able to come and not wanting to admit that this special day wouldn't be shared. In truth, we know that the marriage is what is important, not the wedding. We know that we will be able to celebrate with you all eventually. And yet, knowing that and realizing our day would be void of all of you was difficult to navigate. Thankfully, our family knows how much you all mean and what this day means. We were able to coordinate with the venue to allow us say a quick "I Do" and figured out a way to live stream to our out of state family. Our wedding photographer came out to take our "engagement photos." (Fun fact! You can see some of those pictures on your Change the Date!) What really made it special was the pictures our family sent all dressed up to watch the stream from their living room. You are all amazing, and we can't wait to do this thing with you here!
