How we met

We both worked at Bacara - a resort in Santa Barbara - but at different times. Alex left in 2007 and Brittan started in 2009. Although our paths didn’t cross at the resort, we had dozens of mutual friends and it was years later in Newport Beach that we finally met.


The first time we hung out, we shared so many of the same stories about people and time spent at Bacara. It felt like we already knew each other.

The Proposal

Alex told Brittan they were going to the park to take a family photo with his parents and his brother Estevan on Christmas Day. Little did she know, he had arranged for a surprise visit from her parents, a puppy, and her dream proposal to take place at one of their favorite picnic spots.


The very first time I saw her, I knew one day I would be asking her to marry me.
