We met at work as respiratory therapists. Zandria's first interaction with Manuel was memorable, but not in a good way. Manuel and Zandria had to split a work area and Zandria was only six months out of school. Throughout the course of the work day, she would ask if he needed help and his constant answer was no. Finally, Manuel got tired of Zandria asking and said "If I need your help, I will call you." After that, Zandria wanted nothing to do with him. Then Zandria's friend secretly invited both of them out for drinks after work, and they were forced to get along. After that they became best friends and all roads led to here. We hope you enjoyed our story as much as we do. We look forward to celebrating with you!
We planned an epic trip to Costa Rica! Manuel had secretly planned to ask Zandria to marry him while they were there. In true Zandria fashion, she would not have this without a significant amount of work on Manuel's end. While Zandria thought that he might propose, the last day of vacation came and she finally realized that Manuel was not going to. Up until this point, Manuel had been asking Zandria to take walks on the beach at sunset and she continually refused... She was hot and there were bugs.. On the last evening of the trip, she finally agreed to take that walk and he proposed on the beach at sunset. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Glenwood Springs!
