Sometimes love is right in front of you but it takes a while to realize it.

Our story began years ago and so much of life is in the journey…

In 2010, a family move from Maui to Carpinteria began Chloe’s journey. Chloe started Santa Barbara City College and her brother Noah enrolled at Carp High where he met a posse of friends, one of whom was Chris Gaggero. As often happens, especially in small towns, friends wove through the fabric of daily life. Chris and Chloe met, time went by, both grew, traveled, worked and matured.

Chloe’s path traversed the country. Attending college, working, and exploring. Living in O’ahu, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Manhattan, Chloe returned to Carp and her family.

Chris grew up with a love of travel and adventure and with family in both Mexico and Italy, he’s traveled the world. He followed family tradition and entered the military. After serving his country, he decided to return to Carp and join the family business, working side by side with his dad Robert, mom Elia and brother Gio.

More than a decade passed before Chloe and Chris met again. Life experience, love and loss, growth, compassion, respect. Friendship blossomed into love. And what could be a better beginning to a life together than falling in love with your best friend??
