Almost five years ago a few friends had the bright idea of setting up Ariel and I on a blind date on April Fools day on a whim. I was under the impression of at least by the end of the night i'll have a few laughs and maybe make a new friend. I have never been so glad to be wrong.That night I came across a beautiful and unique girl that few words could ever describe.

Our relationship has been full of ups and downs. Going from a long distance relationship to rooming together and a handful of leases. Now we're planning to take the next step and be bonded for life.

Over the last year Santa Barbara has become a location for us to relax and enjoy some much needed time away from the everyday stresses of life, school and work. The amazing beach and main have  always provided us with memories and good times. After visiting the local zoo we enjoyed not only animals, but the lovely scenary as well. It only seemed appropriate that because of our love for animals that we should choose this location. Hopefully all those in attendance will enjoy not only the ceremony, but the zoo as well. Due to limited seating this will be an Adult Only event.

We would like to thank all of our family and friends who've made these past few years bearable for both us. Guiding us through our rough times, and providing advice for our future. I don't know if we could've made it this far on our own, but we're both glad for all that you've done. This is the start of something bigger for the both of us and we're so happy that we know you can't wait to share out special day with you.
