Travel

On December 26, 2024, Jada and Antonio traveled to Death Valley, CA to camp during the Christmas holiday break. They began the day with a morning hike, taking in the many beautiful sights—just enough to distract Jada for Antonio to carry out his grand surprise. At their final stop, Badwater Basin, they walked out onto the vast sea of salt, where it felt as though everyone naturally cleared away, leaving them with the perfect moment alone. What Jada thought would be just an extraordinary photo turned into something much more when Antonio knelt on one knee and proposed. Tears of joy and shocked surprise followed, as our love story was fortunately captured on camera, right before our eyes.

Our Story

Photos

Sisters by fate, friends by choice. As Cheyenne’s younger sister, Jada feels lucky to have her by her side on such an important day. Just a year apart, they’ve spent a lifetime making memories: celebrating each other’s accomplishments, playing on the same sports teams, and occasionally driving their parents crazy by insisting on the exact same Christmas presents. Jada is grateful to have Cheyenne as her Maid of Honor.

Ariadna and Jada met on an AVID middle school field trip in 2013 and have been inseparable ever since. From sharing childhood dreams to promising to be bridesmaids at each other’s weddings, a vow they kept despite attending different universities, they’ve built a lifetime of memories. Now all grown up, Jada is lucky to have such a loyal and loving best friend standing by her side.

Chelsea was one of Jada’s freshman-year dorm roommates at UCI; her spontaneous, generous spirit turned ordinary days into adventures. Last‑minute trips to San Diego and late‑night food runs became routine, and they built countless memories that still make Jada smile. As a bridesmaid, Chelsea’s warmth and loyalty mean the world.

Kailea and Jada met at UCI and quickly became close friends. They share countless memories, from daily Wendy’s 4 for $4 lunches to singing silly songs, and have always kept each other grounded with words of affirmation and comfort when needed. Even after college, Kailea is the first to answer Jada’s calls and check in. Guided by her faith, Kailea is a true blessing and a steadfast friend to have by her side.

Kemi and Jada met at UCI and quickly became kindred spirits. They’ve shared many memories: exploring new churches, pulling all‑nighters to study, starting an Instagram hair page, and being each other’s moral support during tough times. By coincidence, they share a birthday and have the same sibling setup, with an older sister about a year apart and a younger brother five to six years apart, crazy, right?! Jada feels truly blessed to have Kemi by her side.

Ana and Jada met at UCI during their freshman year. Outgoing and effortlessly charismatic, Ana’s energy is contagious. They built countless memories, studying together in the library, going to concerts (once even jumping a gate to try to get on stage), and supporting each other through the highs and lows of college. They’ve celebrated growth and milestones together since graduation, and Jada feels so lucky to have Ana standing by her side on this special day.

Jose Cervantes is Antonio’s dad and best friend. They bond over skateboarding, photography, hiking, and recently learning guitar together. Antonio looks up to Jose and is incredibly excited to honor him by having him stand by his side on the big day.

Isaiah welcomed Antonio into Jada’s family with open arms. As Antonio became part of the family, he and Isaiah bonded over a shared love of the outdoors and skateboarding. They enjoy hiking together and spending time with each other’s families at both big holidays and small get‑togethers. Antonio is grateful to have Isaiah standing with him as a groomsman.

“ANTONIOOOOO!” The loud, enthusiastic way Brian says Antonio’s name perfectly embodies their friendship. Antonio met Brian as Jada's sister’s boyfriend, and since then they’ve become great friends. Brian is outgoing and fun to be around, always planning spontaneous hangouts and bringing his contagious energy. Antonio is happy to have Brian as a groomsman.
