This is my story of how Diego and I met.............. We met on a rainy mid October night in 2005 at Brother Jimmy's BBQ in NYC while I was on my first three month travel assignment. We had an instant connection the moment we met and dated till I left at the end of December. We then kept in touch for a year and it wasn't till my friends and I took a trip back to NYC for New Year's 2006/2007 when we both realized at the ball drop in Times Square that we didn't want to lose each other again and embarked in a long distant relationship for a year going back and forth from coast to coast to see each other every month. Diego proposed to me on New Year's Eve 2007/2008 in Times Square at the ball drop, where we were celebrating our one year anniversary. Now three years after meeting, we will finally take those final steps toward the beginning of our new life together.

The Garden Ceremony will take place at the Vineyard's in Simi Valley and will promptly start at 6pm. So please make arrangements to arrive early as the wedding will be held on a Friday.

Coctail hour will follow immediately after the ceremony in the Mountain View Room till 8pm. We will then proceed to the Grand View Room for the reception. We will be hosting Samuel Adam's, Pacifico, Bud/ Bud-Light, Red and White Wine, Champagne, Cosmopolitan's, Cape Cod's, Vodika Tonic's , Coffee, Iced Tea and Assorted Sodas for 3 hours which will begin during the cocktail hour. We will also be entertained with "Mariachi Cuicatlan" during the cocktail and reception hour.

We would like to thank everyone in advance for helping us make this a memorable wedding. We love you and hope to see you soon. Carmen & Diego
