We Are Getting Married
A love story born in a Santa Barbara coffee shop, made official at the Riviera Mansion.

Our Story
We met at a coffee shop in Santa Barbara during a rainy afternoon in 2021. Sarah was reading by the window when Michael asked to share the table — and three hours of conversation later, neither of us had touched our coffee. It was the kind of afternoon that quietly changes everything.
Two years later, he proposed at that very same table, and the baristas cheered. Now we are making it official at the Riviera Mansion — the place where we had our first real date — surrounded by the people we love most.

Kind Words
"I was there the day Michael walked into that coffee shop soaking wet from the rain. I watched Sarah look up from her book and I just knew. These two were made for each other from the very first moment."

Best Friend of the Bride
"Michael called me the evening they met and talked for an hour straight — I had never heard him so alive. Watching their love story unfold over these years has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I cannot wait for this wedding."
— James R.
Best Man
"When he proposed at that little corner table — our corner table — we all cried. The whole café erupted. Sarah and Michael remind everyone around them what it means to choose love on an ordinary Tuesday afternoon and never let it go."
