  • We met in Singapore, he is from Vancouver I am from Ecuador. 10 years ago we went on exchange and we have done long distance, travelled the world and seas to be together. And finally, after 10 years it happened.

  • We were living China, in the middle of COVID, he had gone back to visit my mother-in-law, and he was in Vancouver for 4 months and me in China without being able to go back. (Either of us) he managed to make it back and he organized a trip to a beautiful mountain castle in China Mo Gan Shan city, I thought it was to reunite but it was to propose!!

  • We married in San Miguel so we wanted the colorful romantic and hacienda vibe

  • San Miguel is just the most romantic town in the world and we have friends everywhere in the world so it just felt right

  • I wanted something elegant, and simple but that still made me feel like a princess.
