Our first date was at Disneyland then from sports games, to ceremonies, and traveling hours away to see each other 6 years later cedric popped this big question! This union, guided by ancestral forces, is more than a personal bond between two individuals. It represents the merging of two distinct family lineages within the Greater Ohlone people, uniting the past with the present. It is a celebration of our shared heritage, resilience, and the enduring spirit of our communities. The Ohlone wedding carries deep spiritual meaning. It is a ceremony of harmony, rooted in the belief that marriage is not just a union of hearts but a weaving of two families and the continuation of our cultural legacy. This sacred bond reflects the interconnectedness of all life, reminding us of the importance of family, community, and our relationship to the land and the Creator.
