We all want to know…

How did he propose? It was the Fourth of July 2021 and we had just gotten back from Lionel’s cousins house. He asked Erica to wait in the car while he did something inside (Erica thought maybe Isabella had painted something for her). 20 minutes passed and Erica really had to use the restroom, so she called Lionel and asked if she could come inside now. When she walked in, Lionel had the stairs lined with rose petals and candles, and had their song playing in the background—it was at this point that Erica finally caught on. Erica walked up the stairs and found more rose petals and candles all over the room. Lionel was standing there waiting for her with the biggest smile on his face. Lionel said some very beautiful words, the specifics of which Erica doesn’t remember because her heart was beating so fast. Lionel then called for his girls Isabella (9) and Liana (4) to come out of their room and told Erica to turn around. When she did, she saw that both girls were wearing shirts that said “Will you marry our daddy?” Erica immediately dropped to her knees and began crying. When she turned to look at Lionel, he was on one knee and had the most gorgeous ring in his hand. It was easily the best day ever!

What do you love about each other:

Erica loves about Lionel: the incredible dad he is, the patience he has with her, how hardworking he is, the notes he leaves her in the morning, when he cleans the house and does yard work, how big his heart is.
Lionel loves about Erica: The unbelievable role model and step-upped mother she has become for Isabella and Liana. The love and compassion she shows Lionel, Isabella, and Liana on a daily basis. Erica has been the best life partner Lionel could have ever asked for and is very blessed to have Erica in his life.

Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together: we like to golf together, spend time with our families and our 2 girls.

Erica & Lionel’s wedding was pure magic! It was a beautiful story unfolding was they celebrated their families coming together and becoming one.
It was classic & timeless, we loved seeing Erica’s dad perform during their Ceremony and just how thoughtful it was for them to incorporate Spanish for Lionel’s side of the family. It was so sweet to see

Erica & Lionel enjoy their day along with their girls…
We wish Erica & Lionel a lifetime of JOY and happiness. Congratulations!
