Ale and Nate's Wedding Website

I was born in Satelite, Mexico on February 12th, 1983. My mom, dad, and I moved to Arizona when I was two years old, then to Minnesota when I was three years old. My mom's name is Rosa Maria. She is very fun-loving and caring, and taught me to enjoy life and treat others with courtesy and respect. My dad's name is Donald. He is intelligent, open minded, and adventurous, and taught me to be a responsible and honest person. I have one 14 year-old brother Andres who is very funny and laid back, which is perfect because he has to deal with my mom and I all the time!

I went to Sky Oaks Elementary, Metcalf Junior High, then Burnsville Seior High School. I then attended Gustavus Adolphus College for two years before transferring to the University of Minnesota to complete my Art History degree. I worked at Intermedia Arts, a non-profit multi-disciplinary arts center as the Office Manager and Volunteer/Intern Coordinator for almost two years as my first job. I now work as the Art Gallery Director and Office Manager at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center and love it.

I love my family, friends, art, traveling, dancing, and wine and cheese!

I was born in Rochester, Minnesota at the Mayo on August 17, 1982. My mom's name is Rae Ann, a mother of four boys. I wouldn't be who I am without her. My dad's name is Jim. He taught me how to be independent and self-assured. I have three brothers; Travis, Jeremy, and Brandon. They are all different in their own way, which makes them great friends for life.

I went to Vista View Elementary School, Nicollet Junior High, then Burnsville Senior High School. Afterwards, I attended the Universal Technical Institute, then Volkswagen Academy. I've been a mechanic for eight years, and I love my career.

I love my friends and family, old cars, traveling with Ale, and movies.

Nate and I went to Burnsville High School together, although we didn't really know each other. We officially met at a concert/camping festival a couple years after graduating from High School. Afterwards, we started talking on the phone and went on our first date on Valentine's Day of 2004 to see "50 First Dates," at the Mall of America. We had a great time, and eventually started exclusively dating in March. We now have a house in Burnsville, and have spent a lot of time and energy remodeling it, but it was worth it! It is now our home, and we love it.

Although at first it seemed as though we didn't have very much in common, we discovered that we complement each other perfectly. We have a very honest, committed, and fun relationship. We are best friends, and have such a great time being together, and look forward to traveling togther, raising a family, and just knowing we'll be there for each other for the rest of our lives.
