About...

Steve & Diana

How they met…

Steve and Diana met in the fall of 1987 when Steve’s brother Brad was dating Diana’s friend Donna. The two were introduced and things got very interesting…. Steve and Diana started dating on New Year’s Day 1988. A party brought the two together and little did they know that holiday would be the beginning of a long relationship…

Since then, Steve and Diana dated exclusively, on and off, more off than on, and everything in between. They seemed to find ways of always reconnecting and keeping in touch despite the lack of consistency in their relationship. As true friends, they discovered that the love they had for each other never faded and in the year 2000, the two began lengthy conversations about their future together. That fall, Steve popped the question and Diana eagerly accepted. Both families were relieved to find out that they finally got their act together!

After knowing each other for thirteen years, they think that they’ve made the right choice.

Steve
Steve Paulding

Steve is a computer programmer at Information Builders Inc. He’s been in the computer industry for over 14 years and clearly works to support his favorite hobbies and interests. Steve currently has a Kawasaki ZRX1200 and has 21 years of motorcycle riding experience. He’s had the opportunity to get in some track time at Laguna Seca and Thunderhill on days when the track is open for learning the track layout, corners and concentrating on improving riding and racing skills! Steve has taken several motorcycle racing classes and can’t wait to go back for more. Is a racing career in Steve’s future? Mmmm, maybe he should check it out with Diana first!

Steve’s other passion is playing his electric guitar and refurbishing guitars. His passion for the Blues, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, and Guitar Virtuoso keep him grounded from all that motorcycling. He has five guitars and one of them is always being fixed up with new and improved details. Steve has taken private guitar lessons and aspires to create a Blues band someday. His favorite influences are Stevie Ray Vaughan and Yngwie Malmsteen. On the weekends, Steve can be found strumming away to the sounds of distortion and beauty all at the same time.

Diana Valcazar

Diana has been an advocate for children as a nanny, teacher, Auntie and friend. She thoroughly enjoys the magical time between the ages of birth and three years old when children are physically exploring to grasp understanding of the world. Diana has worked with these age groups ever since high school in some capacity. At the grocery store or in a restaurant, you can bet that Diana has made a friend with a little one playing peek-a-boo or smiling at a distance. She looks forward to starting a family with Steve real soon!

Diana currently works at the Children’s Health Council as an Executive Assistant. It’s a nonprofit agency that serves children and families who face behavioral and developmental challenges. After many years of working directly with children, Diana decided a change in working environment was needed.

When Diana is not working or planning the wedding, she enjoys creating art. Rubber stamping and creating cards has been her favorite hobby for the last 12 years. In fact, she handmade the wedding invitations with the help of Steve, her Mom and a bunch of great friends! She wanted to personalize her wedding just the way she saw fit! Leave it to her to get crafty with her own wedding. Diana loves to create art with different media and is always looking for something new to design.
