Wedding Day

Our Wedding

It all started in a parking lot in July 2023 — the kind of meet-cute that only happens when fate (and two very cute dogs) step in. We’re Lari and Jose, and if it weren’t for our dogs, Beau and Ambar, we might have walked right past each other that day. But as it turns out, Beau and Ambar weren’t just strangers sniffing noses — they were half-siblings, sharing the same dad and born just three months apart. As we chatted, we realized something even crazier: we had lived right behind each other for an entire year and never crossed paths until our dogs brought us together. We became friends first — lots of walks, lots of dog training, lots of laughs. Over the next few months, we realized what was unfolding between us was more than just friendship. It was something deeper, something real. On February 1st, 2025 — a year and a half after that parking lot meeting — Jose got down on one knee and asked Lari to spend forever together. The rest is still being written, but we’re so excited to celebrate the next chapter with you. 💛 ---------------------------------------------- Todo comenzó en un parqueo en julio del 2023 — ese tipo de encuentro casual que solo pasa cuando el destino y dos perritos lindísimos se cruzan en el camino. Somos Lari y Jose, y si no hubiera sido por nuestros perros, Beau y Ámbar, probablemente nos habríamos pasado de largo ese día sin siquiera mirarnos. Pero resulta que Beau y Ambar no eran simples desconocidos oliéndose la nariz — ¡eran medio hermanos! Comparten el mismo papá y nacieron con solo tres meses de diferencia. Mientras hablábamos, nos dimos cuenta de algo aún más loco: habíamos vivido en condominios adyacentes todo un año... ¡y nunca nos habíamos cruzado hasta que nuestros perros nos juntaron! Primero fuimos amigos — muchas caminatas, mucho entrenamiento perruno y muchas risas. Conforme pasaron los meses, nos dimos cuenta de que lo que sentíamos iba mucho más allá de una amistad. Era algo más profundo, algo real. Y el 1 de febrero del 2025 — un año y medio después de ese encuentro en el parqueo — Jose se arrodilló y le pidió a Lari pasar el resto de la vida juntos. Lo que sigue aún se está escribiendo, pero no podríamos estar más felices de compartir el próximo capítulo con ustedes. 💛

Gifts

ESP: El código de vestimenta es elegante para nuestra boda en el jardín Alta Fiori. Toma en cuenta que Alta Fiori es un lugar con un jardín abierto y con el viento, se podría poner un poco frío en la noche. Evita tonos verdes, ya que serán utilizados por las damas de honor. -------------------------------- ENG: The dress code is formal for our garden wedding. Take into account that this garden is located in the Escazú mountains and with the wind, it can be chilly at night. Avoid shades of green, since this will be the color of the bridesmaids.
