Javi and I met one random weekend at a mutual friends house. I had approached him because he was the only person at the house that I hadn't met! We spoke for quite some time at length and hit it off talking about both of our passion for working with children. Javi mentioned he had worked with kids in the past, and I shared my story on how I was a Montessori School teacher. By the power of social media, Javi had found me through Facebook and sent me a message saying how it was nice to meet me and if I had any free time that he would love to meet up with me with 'no expectations'. I was working quite a bit let alone taking care of Haydin so needless to say my free time was pretty limited. Lucky for him, I had a free night and I had let him know- he said he had softball that night, but was more than willing to meet up after his game! We had met up for the very first time on 02/15/11 (which is when consider our first date). We met at Tempe Marketplace for dinner and spent a few hours after dinner talking. Coincidentally, after that night, I had more free time to spend with Javi and things just became naturally easy for us to fall for each other. :)

   Javi proposed to BOTH Haydin and I in October of 2012 on one of our many family trips down to Rocky Point, Mexico! He had 3 of our friends read a letter that he wrote to Haydin and I that spoke about how things were when we first met, how things currently were, and where he saw the future with us! After that, Haydin and I proceeded down to the beach where Javi was waiting down by the water right at sunset! The timing couldn't have been more perfect! We both were sobbing soo much that we could barely talk! Obviously I said 'YES'! :) It made this Rocky Point trip more AMAZING than the previous ones!

   Wow.... where do we begin?!?! As most of you know and/or have heard, we originally planned our wedding to take place in Downtown Chandler in AZ, but 5 months after signing our contract with them, they decide to foreclose! Luckily, we still had time to go out and find a new venue on the same date that we originally planned *whew*! Both the ceremony and reception will take place at Tre Bella in Downtown Mesa on 11.07.2013 at 6pm. We feel the location is EXACTLY the 'feel' and vibe we would like to celebrate our special day with friends and family with!

   Please join us and celebrate our new lives as Mr. and Mrs. Arias! There will be dining, drinks, dancing, & good times for all! Our wedding reception will immediately follow our ceremony.

   Javi and I are both VERY grateful for the wonderful friends and family that we surround ourselves with on a daily basis! We like to live life to the fullest and we know that who we surround ourselves with help mold our happiness! We 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 and love you give us! Thank you for visiting our wedding website and honeymoon registry. You all have blessed our lives and we can't wait to share our special day with you!
