Juan and Esmy's love story is like a classic rom-com, but better because it's real. They first crossed paths in high school, and from that moment, it was like destiny had a plan for them. Fast forward to now, and they're celebrating their 25th anniversary! Can you believe it?

They've been through it all together, from those awkward teenage years to adulting like pros.Four years into marriage, they welcomed their little girl, Brianna, into the world. Then, four years later, along came their son, Aidan, completing their adorable family. Oh, and let's not forget Misty, their loyal fur-baby who's been with them through thick and thin.

Their journey's been filled with ups and downs, but through it all, they've had each other's backs. They bought their first place in Chula Vista, CA when they were 27 and upgraded to their dream home in Bonita in 2015.

And boy, do they know how to enjoy life! They're big time wine enthusiasts, often sneaking off to explore vineyards in Valle de Guadalupe, Temecula, and beyond. And don't even get them started on Formula 1 races! They're huge Checo Perez fans and have even hit up three races in Mexico City together.

But what really makes their story special, is the love and support they've received from their friends and family. Seriously, these two couldn't have made it this far without their squad cheering them on.

So here's to Juan and Esmy—25 years down, forever to go. Their love story is living proof that when you find your person, life's adventures are just beginning. Cheers to love, laughter, and dating your spouse!

An inspiring love story of Randall and Heather Parkes! A Military Family with a story many can relate to. Their journey began in the summer of 2006 at the iconic Coyotes Bar and Grill in Carlsbad, CA—a hotspot for surfers, Marines, and local ladies.

In July 2008, Randall returned just in time for their meticulously planned wedding in beautiful San Diego, marking the start of a life full of adventures and challenges.

Throughout the years, Randall and Heather have built a beautiful family with two children, braved multiple combat deployments, and moved across the country twice. After twenty years of dedicated service, Randall retired from the Marine Corps, and they embarked on a new chapter of their journey back to San Diego. Together, as a thriving married team, they now work side by side with Compass Realty.

Randall and Heather are widely known for their dedication to performing random acts of kindness within their community. From volunteering and local sponsorships to hosting events for family and friends, they bring joy and support to those around them.

Join us as we dive into the remarkable journey of Aaron and Amanda, a couple who overcame a tumultuous upbringing and family chaos to build a life rooted in shared values and unwavering commitment. Their story begins 23 years ago on a college campus where they met and soon married, bound by a high moral compass and a deep trust in one another.

Their journey took an unexpected turn when their first child was born with vision impairment, later diagnosed with Albinism. As they navigated the unique challenges of raising a child with special needs, they embraced his quirks and discovered additional diagnoses of autism and ADHD. Their second child was also born with Albinism, adding another layer to their already complex family dynamic.

Amanda chose to stay home, dedicating herself to managing their children's needs, while Aaron climbed the corporate ladder, earning numerous accolades along the way. Despite his professional success and over 129 awards, Aaron’s most cherished title is that of a supportive husband and loving father, with Amanda as the Chief Family Officer.

In this episode, we explore how Aaron and Amanda’s equal partnership and enduring love have been the cornerstone of their family’s strength and resilience. Don’t miss this inspiring tale of overcoming adversity, embracing uniqueness, and the power of true partnership.

Both divorcees raising teenagers and passionate Lord of the Rings, Julie and Matthew had lived just steps away from each other for years. Despite literally crossing paths multiple times, it wasn't until they ventured into online dating that their paths truly converged. Matthew, a recovering alcoholic celebrating seven years of sobriety, and Julie, healing from a psychologically abusive relationship, were both ready for a fresh start. Julie shares her journey of learning to "put down the sword," recognizing how her strengths had inadvertently hindered her search for love. Meanwhile, Matthew discusses the importance of self-forgiveness and the vital support he received from Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in his healing process. Their serendipitous meeting in God's timing brought them together as the best versions of themselves. As they look to the future, Julie and Matthew envision a life filled with love, continued healing, the joys of an empty nest, and a shared dream of becoming chocolatiers. Join us as we explore their beautiful journey of resilience, self-discovery, and the transformative power of love.
