I’m assuming most of the people who read this little blog of mine know by now that I’m engaged.  If not, hi, surprise! I’m getting married.

Ivo and I were supposed to get married on June 13th, 2020. (Please note the words “were” and “supposed to.”)

But for now, pay attention to the MOST fun facts below 😉

• I am a fan of the Seahawks.
• Ivo is a fan of the Niners.
• The first time we ever hung out on January 1st, 2017, we spontaneously went to a Niner vs. Seahawk game together.

• We started officially dating on May 30, 2017.
• We’ve been to two more Niner vs. Seahawks games since then.

• Our 4th game couldn’t be a Niner vs. Seahawk game because of a business trip I went on, so instead, on October 27th, 2019 we went to a Niner vs. Panthers game which I didn’t mind at all because…Cam Newton. Hello.

• At that game during halftime, we walked onto the field and Ivo asked me to be his wife using a message on the Jumbotron, wearing white cement 3 Justin Timberlake Spike Lee Jordans…It’s a mouth full but, the shoes are important, k?
• I said yes.
• We picked June 13th, 2020

When the shelter in place order was placed over Monterey County due to COVID-19, I had a feeling that our wedding may be affected, but we made the decision to move forward as planned.

However, once it was extended to May 31st, we felt like we might need to reconsider.

So last week, we called an audible. Can someone please be impressed that I worked this reference in here after talking about how significant football has been in our relationship? K Great, thanks!

Ivo and I have officially decided to get legally married on paper, May 30, 2020 on our dating anniversary…Yeah that’s 19 days from now.

THEN we are going to have a real (fake) ceremony and reception at a later date, with alllllllllll of the people we wanna celebrate with. We talked through a few options, and this is the one we landed on.  It might seem weird to some people, but I mean..the majority of 2020 has been weird so far, so we might as well just jump on board and go with it.

We haven’t officially picked a new date, we’re waiting until May 31st to see what happens, but I just thought for now, it might be helpful to get the information out somehow. Our wedding website isn’t really cool about accepting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ as the new date, so once we know for sure we’ll update it.

Thank you for reading the most very important, very long winded, announcement.

The end.

Love,

Candace ALMOST Jimenez, like in 19 days
