We're getting hitched in America's finest city.

December Nights, 2017 Balboa Park. Christmas lights. Holiday chaos. A guy looks at Vanessa and says, “You look like the mom friend of the group.” She nods. And that’s it. That’s the interaction. No romantic sparks. No life-changing moment. Just five words, an exchanged social media handle, and then—three years of complete silence. 2020: The Pandemic One day, out of nowhere, Vanessa calls him. And just like that, they start talking. Texts turn into long convos. Late-night memes. Somehow, the world slowing down brings them together. A connection that was once five minutes long turns into something real. And Now… Five years later, here you are—reading our wedding website. Pretty wild, right? We're excited to celebrate with you!
