Our Wedding

Angelica:We met in October 2019, at a time when life had placed us in very different worlds. I was an international student in Salt Lake City, Utah. During a break from school, I traveled to Morristown, New Jersey, to spend the holidays with my sister. I never imagined that a simple plan a movie followed by dinner — would change my life forever.I remember being nervous. We came from different cultures, spoke different languages, and yet, there was a quiet curiosity between us. The only thing we seemed to share was our profession, we are both software QA engineers.After leaving the movie theater on our first date, the parking ticket wouldn’t work. There was no staff around, and the place was completely empty. We spent almost half an hour driving in circles, laughing in disbelief at our luck&nbsp;before we finally got out. We still laugh when we remember that. We didn’t make it to dinner that night… but something far more important,&nbsp;&nbsp;without many words, without knowing if we would see each other again, our hearts made a match. Kevin:Our first date at the movie theater was very quiet.&nbsp;We saw the Adams Family animated movie.&nbsp;We were both also very nervous, and it was difficult to communicate.&nbsp;We used google translate to communicate better.&nbsp;After the movie, there was an issue with my parking deck ticket.&nbsp;After having trouble exiting the parking deck, I was frustrated,&nbsp;so we postponed our plans for dinner to another day. We were both curious and interested in each other.&nbsp;So the dates and dinners continued throughout the next few months. Angelica moved to Morristown to finish as an international student.&nbsp;She lived with her sister.&nbsp;We managed to continue seeing each other, even during the Covid pandemic.&nbsp;It was difficult, but we managed to make it work. Angelica: The dates were filled with both excitement and uncertainty. I worried about my accent, about whether he could understand me — or if I could truly understand him. But day by day, I discovered the man behind the shy smile: a respectful gentleman who made me feel safe, cherished, and at peace. We've built our own way of understanding each other: a language that goes beyond words. The language of love. Kevin:The first few dates were very exciting, but it was also a bit difficult to communicate.&nbsp;Over time we learned to communicate with each other a lot better.&nbsp;I discovered true love.&nbsp;A beautiful woman, that cares so much about me. As I care so much about her.&nbsp;I’ve never felt this way before. We’ve went on many exciting trips and adventures together.&nbsp;I’ve been to Colombia many times since then, and met her wonderful family.&nbsp;And she has also met my family. We also went on many vacations to different states in the USA. We always have a great time together. We’ve learned a lot from each other. Love knows no language!
