How They Met

March 2017

Yliana and Leo met at the most romantic establishment in the world... the Kroc Center. There’s no better place to fall in love than at work. Yliana was head over heels, it was love at first sight for her. Leo, on the other hand, played hard to get for the next 3 years. Throughout the years, a friendship formed – they bonded over SpongeBob and Vine references, which is evidently what made Leo realize they were perfect for each other. They started dating a month before the 2020 lockdown, which was a true test on the strength of their relationship. But hey, another 3 years went by and now they're getting married.

The Proposal

July 2023

Yliana has always wanted to go to Solvang to experience the cozy little Danish town, so Leo decided that was the perfect place to pop the question. After a wonderful day of wine tasting in Santa Ynez Valley's beautiful vineyards, Leo found a quiet, intimate moment to propose to Yliana. It was a perfect moment in time for the two of them – Yliana didn't even look at the ring for more than a second before hugging Leo and saying "of course I'll marry you!" Afterwards, they went out to eat Bratwurst and share a root beer float.
