Welcome to the wedding of Luis and Stephanie!

We are so excited to share these highlights from a fun filled day of Love and happiness! Luis and Stephanie have a beautiful story and we are happy to share it with you on this platform.

"We have known each other for almost 15 years and have always been good friends. Over the years, we would see each other at conventions and gatherings, reconnect every so often, and then sometimes life would get in the way and time would pass. But everything changed in June 2024. We started seeing each other in a completely different light. We realized that we had been a part of each other's lives for all these years, but this time, our relationship grew into something deeper. There was something really special about falling in love with someone who had already been a friend for so long."

Luis tells us the story behind their proposal. "I wanted to do something romantic; I am a romantic myself. I love music, so I started working on writing a song for Steph. It took me a couple of months, to be exact, around 5 months; I had different versions of it until I finally had the one. The name of the song was easy. It is called Bonita because Steph is the most beautiful woman I know. I have a co-worker who is a producer and makes music. He asked me to let him do the music arrangements and that he had another friend that could do the vocals. He took care of all of that, and he said it was going to be his wedding gift for us. I searched different parks and places until I found the one in Lake Oswego; that place just felt right, a private place where I could ask my wife if she wanted to get married to me. Everything had to be special for her cause she deserves the best."

Luis and Stephanie had a beautiful Summer wedding in Castle Rock Washington at The Barn 1502. This was a venue that felt unique in a way that allowed them to be themselves, bring in the vendors that they wanted to work with and celebrate with the people they love the most. The entire day was filled with so much love and happiness. Everyone there was genuinely happy to be there celebrating Luis and Stephanie.

"We really tried to include things that represented both of us and that we knew our guests would enjoy. Luis loved the idea of having a photo booth, and I really wanted to have cocktails for our guests; we were able to have both. Having our family and closest friends there with us was incredibly meaningful. Being surrounded by the people who have supported us throughout different parts of our lives made the day feel even more special... Our wedding wasn't just about the two of us. It was also about celebrating with all the people who have been part of our lives and our story."
