Our love story wasn’t a sudden explosion, but a slow simmer over countless lunch dates. Each dish, a new flavor in our shared journey. Learning of one another’s similar interests and values while trying new things, our romance lead to us being one another’s forever date. Tucson’s vibrant culinary scene wasn’t just a setting, it’s the main ingredient that brought us together.

In 2023 we took a trip to Washington D.C. As a family of seven, both of our parents and Daniel’s 10 year old daughter, we explored our Nation’s capitol. In a city we have always wanted to visit, we made it a priority to embrace the blessing of being able to witness the excitement and surprise on our parents faces as they immerse themselves in the history of the city. It is something we will never forget, to honor our 4 parents for all they have done for us as a couple.
