Love Story
Our story is an unlikely one: when we first met, we weren’t even living in the same city. We didn’t have the same first language. But we knew from the beginning that we were going to be together, forever.
One trip to Laredo turned into many more trips between Laredo and Houston, and our long-distance relationship turned into one that wasn’t really long-distance at all.
We met and grew to love each other’s families and friends. We experienced the worst of life’s heartbreaks together and came out stronger. Now, we are finally getting married and starting our happily ever after.
