Our beautiful Love Story goes like this....

Fifteen years ago we met, we danced, we talked, had an amazing connection, exchanged numbers but became pen pals for five years. If you ask him the pen pal status was my fault but in my defense the timing wasn't right. We became very good friends in those five years which I believe makes for the great relationship we have today. Five years later I was ready to rekindle our connection and see where it would go so we went on a date. Now you know why Marcos waited nine long years to propose, he thought we would be even if he made me wait almost double the time I made him wait for a date. ;)

Our first date was to see the English Beat at Romano's in Riverside. Marcos came to pick me up in a black suit and looking very hot but all I could think is why are you in a suit for a concert? If you know Marcos though you know he will always dress to impress especially for a first date with the girl he waited five years for. We had so much fun together, danced the night away and the rest is history. When I say there was just something different about our connection, this couldn't be farther from the truth.

Marcos and I started dating when Bransyn and Ryland were in high school and our house was the house where all the kids came to. At first I’m sure Marcos wasn't sure what he was getting himself into but very quickly he loved all the kids as his own just as I did. There are so many kids that have continued to be a huge part of our lives and that will definitely depicted in our wedding. We love them all as our own and have many bonus sons and daughters.

Marcos and I have a great love for music of all genres and music has gotten us both through many things in our lives. We enjoy live music together, dancing or just singing in the car together, along with Marcos love for karaoke and my love for the tambourine.

Marcos and I love to travel together and make memories especially with our family. Marcos favorite part of traveling is all the food, if there is good food Marcos is there! My favorite part is the experiences, wine and the memories made with each other and our family. Our family is everything to us and we have created the most beautiful little family that we share together.

We have a beautiful life together and we are so excited to be married and continue to create more wonderful memories. We are so excited to share our beautiful day with all of our family and friends who we love very much. Thank you all for sharing this special day with us.

With Love,

Marcos and Cheryl
