“WE’RE THIBAULT AND MARIA, AND OUR STORY BEGAN SIX YEARS AGO AT OUR VERY FIRST CORPORATE JOB OUT OF COLLEGE. IT ALL STARTED WHEN THIBAULT HEARD A VOICE SO BEAUTIFUL, HE HAD TO TURN AROUND AND THERE SHE WAS: MARIA, WITH A SMILE THAT COULD LIGHT UP ANY ROOM. AND DURING HER FEW FIRST WEEKS ON THE JOB, THIBAULT BECAME HER GO-TO FOR THE ANSWERS TO HER MANY QUESTIONS.

AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF FRIENDSHIP, THIBAULT FINALLY DECIDED TO TAKE THE LEAP AND ASK MARIA TO DINNER AT HIS FAVORITE FRENCH RESTAURANT. A DATE THAT WENT SO WELL, WE DIDN’T NOTICE THAT WE WERE THE LAST PEOPLE AT THE RESTAURANT UNTIL THE WAIT STAFF TOLD US THAT IT WAS CLOSING TIME. SOON AFTER, WE WERE INSEPARABLE.

FROM SNOWY MOUNTAIN GETAWAYS WITH OUR DOGS, KAIA AND HAZEL, TO WATCHING FLAMENCO PERFORMANCES IN SEVILLA, OUR ADVENTURES TOGETHER HAVE BEEN FULL OF LAUGHTER, WHIMSY, AND LOVE. FOUR YEARS LATER, SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS AND THE BEAUTY OF A NATIONAL GARDEN IN TOKYO, WE GOT ENGAGED.

NOW, WE CAN’T WAIT TO BEGIN OUR NEXT CHAPTER AND TO CELEBRATE IT WITH ALL OF YOU AT THE BEAUTIFUL HACIENDA GALINDO!”
