Our story started back in 2001 when a mutual friend set us up on a blind date. On our first date we saw Moulin Rouge and during the movie sparks flew! We dated for almost 2 years but because it was young love we went on our separate journeys.  After 7 years of not talking to each other, ok maybe there was an occasional text, we reconnected and became friends. After a year of being friends Manny new that Michelle was the one and only for him and went on a limb and told her he loved her! 

I gave him a chance and felt that this was some thing not to loose. When we were together it just felt right and we excepted each other for who we were and supported each other no matter what. On June 2, 2012, while in Napa, Manny proposed to me at the Sterling Vineyard on a beautiful warm day. It was the happiest day ever for both of us. Now, we are excited to get married in a few months and excited to share with everyone this new journey we will take together! Our dreams have come true and we have found each other again. When it's meant to be it's meant to be. 

We are very excited to share the moment we become Mr. & Mrs. with everyone. This has been a long time coming and we hope everyone has an amazing time. Since we love the outdoors, the wedding venue is all outdoors surrounded by beautiful flowers and a unique decor. We are hoping it won't be too hot. The reception is in the evening so it may cool down quite nicely. 

Our reception will be fun & fabulous. Please join us in celebrating our new lives togther as Mr. & Mrs. Fernandez. There will be dining, drinks, dancing and good times for all!

Manny and I would like to thank all of our dearest family and friends for simply being here for us. You all have done so much and have made such a remarkable positive difference in our lives. We cherish the friendship you have given us and continue to give to us. Thank you for visiting our wedding website and honeymoon registry. We are truely blessed and thankful. Please reach out us if you have any questions. xoxo
