About Us
We met fall 2013 in college at UCR. We were really good friends for two years before getting into a committed relationship. We love going to the beach, spending time with friends and family, and most importantly being with our furbaby, Mia. Our first real date was at Disneyland and from then on we enjoyed going to the movies, the beach, on late night walks plus ice cream runs. We have been together for 9+ years and have enjoyed all the wonderful moments and memories we have built. We are excited to start this next chapter of our lives together with our loved ones in 2025.

Wedding Party
Nichole
Maid of Honor
Nichole is my maid of honor and has been my best friend for over 10 years We met at UCR freshman year and to know her is to love her. She is quite literally my other half, knows everything about me and is one of the best people I know. She loves all dogs and does not discriminate between breeds. Nichole is loving, kind and someone who I can turn to without being judged, especially when I park my car on the curb at in n out and leave it like that while we eat.
Kara
Matron of Honor
Kara has been my rock since 2017 when we met in graduate school and I am happy to call her my matron of honor. She is sweet, nurturing and overall someone who shows up for her friends regardless the time of day. We always make the best of our time together, even if our car breaks down at the 711 parking lot and we spend most of our day there waiting for the tow truck. Kara and I always find ways to use dark humor to get through the toughest times, but really she is my light in the darkest days.
Jenelle
Bridesmaid
Jenelle is my sister in law and probably one of the sweetest people you will have the pleasure of knowing. She likes to workout, spend time with Bruno (her furbaby), and play board games. She is someone who has given me her shoulder to cry on countless times. Jenelle and I love going to Marshalls to shop and hide out purchases from others so we don’t have to share how much we really spent. I am so happy to have her stand by my side as a bridesmaid on my special day.
Lissette
Bridesmaid
Lissette is quite literally my forever friend. We went to elementary, middle and high school together. We both played the violin in our orchestra class for many years. Lissette and I have been so blessed to see each other through every stage of life. The best times we had was eating munchies and hot Cheetos in orchestra while getting yelled at by our music teacher. She has continued her journey with playing and teaching the violin and does so gracefully. I am so blessed to have her as my bridesmaid on my special day, it means the world to me.
Philip
Bridesman
Philip and I have been best friends since 2013 when we met in college at UCR. He is by far the funniest, down to earth and kind person I have had the pleasure of knowing. Eating in n out together is our favorite activity, even if it is through FaceTime only. I am so honored to have him by my side on my wedding day. Life with him is easy and fun and there is never a dull moment when we are together.
Gaby
Bridesmaid
Gaby is the most loyal person to have in your corner. She is such a girls girl and we pretty much share the same sense of humor. I met her about 7 years ago and I couldn’t be more grateful to have someone in my life who makes me laugh every time I am around her. She is amazing with animals, kind to others, and isn’t afraid to stand up for her friends. My favorite memory with her is dressing up and going all out for Halloween, but not getting to go out lol. I am so excited to have her be a bridesmaid and stand next to me on my wedding day.
Vicky
Bridesmaid
Vicky is one of my bridesmaids but most importantly, my twin flame. We have known each other for about 7 years now and life with her is always so fun. From Vegas trips, to fun weekends spent together, to seeing each other through different milestones, she holds a special place in my heart and I am truly blessed to know her in this lifetime. Life is exciting and full of laughs with her and I couldn’t ask for a better person to stand by my side when I get married.
Cris
Best Man
Cris is my best friend that I’ve known since 7th grade. He has a big heart for the ones he keeps around him and brings the energy to every function he’s at. He enjoys playing football, basketball, working out and most importantly being a dad to his son Jett. Cris is always down for a mission and loves being on island time.
Chris
Groomsman
Chris, my younger brother. I would say little but he’s bigger than most of the party and just a little shorter than me. I’m so happy and proud to see him grow up and hopefully be a positive role model for him. He’s now a senior in high school and wants to become a fire fighter after graduation.
Louis
Groomsman
I’ve known Louis for about 8 years now. Although we already consider each other brothers, he is my soon to be brother in law. He loves smoking meats, playing golf, collecting Pokémon cards and playing with his bulldog Bruno. Louis and I have a shared love with cooking and experimenting with new recipes and styles of cooking.
Uri
Groomsman
Uri was one of my first friends from college. We lived in the same dorm on the same floor and were roommates for the next 3 years after. Uri lives in San Diego and enjoys competing in Latin American Dance. We often cross over to TJ to enjoy some fire Mexican food and play a lot of video games together. Don’t let his quiet demeanor fool you!
Jacob
Groomsman
I’ve know since Jacob since 7th grade as well. We played football together throughout high school and is someone who’s really easy to talk to about almost anything. Jacob is a car enthusiast who could probably be an extra in an action movie but don’t let his Batman like appearance fool you. He spends his free time working out, doing jui jitsu and playing video games.
Ray
Groomsman
I’ve known Ray for a little over 10 years as well. He has a very warm personality and a big heart because he’s always thinking of others. He can be considered a pizza connoisseur due to his love for pizza and an artist because he enjoys painting and fashion.
D
Groomsman
I’ve know Diquan, everyone calls him D or DQ, around 10 years now. Despite being 6’6 he’s a big teddy bear who loves dancing, music and poetry. You’ll feel his warm presence and vibrant energy every where he goes. He’s always up for an adventure and open to trying new things.
