Mario proposed on her birthday, February 25th 2011. With the help of his friends, Mario surprised heather waiting on his knee with the beautiful ring they designed together. They got married in 2012 and this March 26th will be their 12 year anniversary! Their wedding was so beautiful with close friends and family, and all the details that make their relationship so unique. This july they recently purchased a home together, and are expecting their first little one this Summer 2013.

There is something so special about two high school sweet hearts finding their life partner at such an early age. If it makes it any more destined, they both have always shared the same last name, Mario & Heather Padilla.

She picked up a CD after her enjoyable experience and on her way out bumped into a fellow by the name of Kristian, the bands key player. After a bit of conversation they said their goodbyes and carried on their way. Due to her amazing experience she decides to attend another concert, it was at this time she was told a friend of a friend was married to the drummer of the same band! So with some flirtatious moves, she passed her number to her friend and kindly asked for her to give it to Kristian. After waiting for what seemed like years, (only two weeks) Kristian finally called and they arranged their first date and Linnea’s in SLO. It was an instant bond and they have been together ever since. They dated for two years, bought a home, and Kristian proposed at the same coffee shop that they had their first date.

The wedding was very personal and located at their beautiful home in Paso Robles, CA. The details were simple, and greatly reflected who these two are. So awesome to hear how two strangers come to meet and decide to spend their lives together. I get so pumped!

It begins when Amber graduating from college and her and her girlfriends deciding to go on an epic Europe trip. During their time, they decide to volunteer and teach english to business professional spaniards looking to improve their chops. At this exact same week, our pilot Alvaro decided it would be beneficial for his career to improve his english skills through a local school system called VaughanTown. After instantly being attracted to each other, Amber began to teach Alvaro the basics of the English language. After many intense conversations, plays, presentations, countless games of Uno, lots of laughter, and lots of flirting these two love birds knew there was more to this week than the English Language.

Upon Amber’s return to the states, they kept in touch, skyped a ton, arranged to visit each other, and eventually Amber relocated to Spain to be with her new spanish lover. After living in Spain for a year and a half, Alvaro proposed and they had a small wedding ceremony in the quaint village of Buitrago del Lozoya, Spain. They then moved to Turkey and the following summer they came back to CA to celebrate with all their stateside friends and family. They are proof that love requires work, determination, and willingness to be selfless and embrace change. I introduce to you, Alvaro & Amber.”

Fast forward to Christmas Eve 2009. They were on their way to the parents house to celebrate when Andrew decided to pull over at the same Starbucks they first met each other at. Andrew walked Paige to the very first spot they laid eyes on each other. He grabbed her hands, looked her in the eye and said. “This is the first place I ever saw you. As you drove away that night I thought to myself that whoever got to marry you would be the luckiest man in the world. I never thought that would be me.” He got down on one knee asked Paige to be his wife! The entire family was just outside and they got to celebrate together that evening.

On May 14, 2011 Andrew and Paige became husband and wife. Paige said it has been such a blessing to find each other at such a young age and she is so excited to be married to her best friend.

Their was such a casual comfort level at their wedding. Every one was the best of friends and was so thrilled for the joining of these two rad people. The wedding was located at Dana Powers House in Nipomo, CA. There was lots of smiles, sunshine, santa maria style bbq, bud light, dancing shoes, and loads of fun!

Their wedding was located at their church in San Luis Obispo, CA and the reception was at camp grizzly. They are honestly the sweetest people you will ever meet. I run into them around town quite frequently and am also so excited to have made such amazing new friends!
