Of all the San Diego wedding DJs in the county, Victoria and Jorge chose me to DJ and MC their Underground Elephant wedding on Saturday, September 8, 2018.
THE LOVE STORY
Victoria & Jorge met in 2008 at Pacific Trust Bank where she was working as a teller. Together they enjoy hiking, playing with their dogs, hanging out with her niece Little Koki, & going to the zoo. They are planning an African safari for their honeymoon next year.
On March 19, 2017, Victoria & Jorge were on a trip to Seattle. Jorge had been hiding something in his pocket for 2 whole days.He was waiting for the right moment. On the 3rd day of the trip, on hike, Jorge found a gorgeous spot he liked along the trail…but, when they get there, a group of 15 hikers suddenly showed up. Finally, at the end of the trip, Jorge found himself down on one knee in their hotel room. Victoria cried….happy tears.
