About Us
How We Met & The Engagement
Ainidel and Ramon first met at the place neither one of them thought they’d meet the love of their lives. They were both working night shift at Kaiser Hospital and began talking every so often at work with friendly “Hellos” and “How are yous?” They didn’t work in the same department so they only saw each other maybe once or twice a week for a few minutes. I guess that was enough :)
They eventually became friends on Facebook, exchanged long messages back and forth and got to know each other better. Ramon finally asked Ainidel for her number and they began to talk and text more and more.
They went on their first date and immediately clicked. When the date ended and she got home, he texted “I had a really good first date with you, I hope it won’t be our last.” Her heart melted and that first date lead to many more…
They became inseparable, did everything and went everywhere together… They loved visiting and exploring new places. They took unforgettable trips to Las Vegas, Cancun, Chicago, New York, Cabo San Lucas, San Francisco and Hawaii. They fell more and more in love as the days went on..
Fast forward to three years later… They took a summer trip to Europe where Ramon planned to propose. On their last night in Paris, he made dinner reservations at Le Jules Verne, the restaurant on top of the Eiffel Tower. He told her their reservations were at 9:30 and when they showed up at 9:15 the restaurant was already closed! It turns out they had the last reservation for the night and it was actually at 9:00! The restaurant was so strict they wouldn’t even let them in to the restaurant even if they were only 15 minutes late! They had to make the best of the situation and found another restaurant to have dinner at. They walked around after dinner and since it was their last night, they decided to take pictures near the Eiffel Tower. After a few pictures, Ramon proposed to Ainidel in front of the Eiffel Tower as the lights started to twinkle. He got down on one knee, forgot everything he was going to say, and only managed to say “Will you marry me?” She happily said “Yes!” and afterwards he told her how much he loved her and the rest of what he forgot to say before the big question :)

Eddie V’s has been our go to spot when we want a nice dinner and good seafood or steak! We have spent special occasions like Valentine’s Day there and so it feels like a special place for us.

EAT
Blue Smoke Sushi Lounge
7007 Friars Road
San Diego, CA
This sushi restaurant is in the Fashion Valley Mall so we love going here after doing some shopping. The sushi quality is always good and everything always taste so fresh. Some of our favorite rolls are the philly roll topped with raw salmon, the marine roll and the chef specialty roll. It’s a good spot if you’re in the mood for sushi!
EAT
Crab Hut
1007 5th Ave, Ste 101
San Diego, CA
This restaurant is located at the Gaslamp district in Downtown San Diego. We love this restaurant when we’re craving fresh crab legs and shrimp! They cook the seafood in special sauces, bring them out in plastic bags, and we all eat with our hands to peel everything open! Our favorite sides are the potatoes and the sausage! Try it out if you’re craving seafood!
EAT
Phil's BBQ
3750 Sports Arena Boulevard
San Diego, CA
You can’t come to San Diego and not try Phil’s BBQ! They have really yummy ribs, chicken and sides! The line to get in can get pretty long but it actually moves pretty fast! This place is a must try for all you meat lovers! :)
