Hidden Acres, Lytle Creek Wedding: Rolando and Isabel

April 12, 2024

All eyes were glued to the weather forecast as Isabel and Rolando’s wedding day drew near, coinciding with an approaching immense California storm. The forecast fluctuated from 24-hour rain to snow, eventually settling on rain clearing in the afternoon. Isabel gazed out the window of the bridal suite, contemplating whether to exchange vows under a sheltered reception area or by the picturesque lakeside. Her internal debate was resolved by the unwavering support of their guests. They were willing to brave the cold, sit on wet benches, and endure sprinkling if it meant celebrating outside in a beautiful place.

As the ceremony began, a miraculous moment unfolded – the rain ceased, and a glimpse of sunshine graced the occasion. Against the stunning backdrop of Hidden Acres Lake Side, Isabel and Rolando renewed their vows, promising once again to love each other forever before their family and friends.

Cal Poly Pomona Engagement: Michael loves Angelina

March 25, 2024

Michael and Angelina crossed paths in biology class during their sophomore year at Ontario High School. Michael couldn’t help but be captivated by Angelina’s enchanting eyes and beautiful smile. He smiled back, and a connection sparked between them. Little did they know that this encounter was the start of their story.

As fate would have it, they found themselves sharing more classes and even attending a memorable Sadie’s Hawkins Dance together. During this special event, they shared their first dance and kiss. However, after graduation, life took them on separate paths, leaving them to wonder about each other’s lives and what the future held.

But destiny works in mysterious ways, and with the help of a mutual friend, Michael and Angelina were brought back together five years later. This time, they reconnected as friends, spending time together and truly getting to know each other. Angelina quickly discovered that Michael possessed an incredible blend of kindness, humor, and loyalty. His ability to make her laugh and his selflessness in caring for others touched her heart.

Not only did Michael and Angelina share a love for Oldies Music, but Angelina also became Michael’s biggest cheerleader, constantly encouraging him to pursue his dreams and reminding him of his unlimited potential. With her unwavering support, Michael felt inspired to chase after their shared goals and aspirations.

And so, Michael knew he needed his best friend always by his side. He wanted her as his wife. In the very place they had spent countless hours together, Victoria Gardens, Michael would propose. Angelina’s mom had hired a photographer who asked to take their picture. It was then that Michael dropped to one knee. Angelina was shocked. Suddenly, they were surrounded by her family. Angelina was overwhelmed, but of course, she said “Yes” to the man she loved as those around them applauded and congratulated them on the beginning of the new chapter of their love story.
