We began our incredible journey together when we met 20 years ago at the World Famous El Paseo Restaurant.  Santa Barbara being the small town that it is, we ran into each other often & over time became close friends & then lovers. We got engaged during a total eclipse of the sun in the Caribbean & were married on New Years Eve 1998.

Santa Barbara is our home where our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren have been born & raised.  We are blessed with a wonderful family and many great friends that have evolved over the years, along with our love for this town & all the great times we have shared. Over the year, our family has taken part in and enjoyed many events that Fiesta provides.  This year is especially exciting because our granddaughter is Spirit of Fiesta!  We are extremely proud of Alexandra Freres for achieving this special honor representing our community in this way.

Our life began here in Santa Barbara

& we are excited to have this wonderful

event of renewing our vows after almost

17 years.  This preserves our legacy and continues to set an example for our

blended family that sees how commitment, hard work & a deep love for one another pays off in an awesome way!

VIVA LA FIESTA!!!
