Our Wedding

It was the summer of 2014. Nestor was 15 and I had just turned 16. We first met at a family party at Nestor's house on Weaver Dr in Cary, IL. My best friend Lily introduced us. He made us a pina colada (Lol). We didn't see each other again until school started that Fall. While walking in the hallway at Cary-Grove. I saw him again and asked Lily, "He's cute, who is that?". She's like "That's Nestor!" I'm like oh okay. Shortly after school one day, Lily was driving home a friend of ours and myself. We saw Nestor walking. Lily asked him if he wanted a ride home. He said Sure. Nestor sat in the back seat with me. I saw that he had drawings on his arm. I asked him, "What's this?" He said, "Oh a friend of mine drew this on me." I then wanted to draw on him too. (Lmao) I grabbed a pen and drew something on his arm, I don't remember what. We chatted in the back seat of Lily's car during that ride. I immediately liked him and his personality. Once we dropped off the boys, Lily and I were hanging out at her house. I asked Lily if she had Nestor's phone number and she said "yes, why", I grabbed her phone and saved Nestor's number in my phone. I texted him right away. We never stopped talking since then. We were friends from August until December when we officially started dating. Looking back, he never asked how I got his number, hahaha, he just rolled with it. The rest is history. We've never been apart since. He's been my best friend this whole time. I was so excited when he FINALLY proposed to me on New Years Day in 2023! We bought our first home in August of 2021. We got our first fur baby Luna in October of 2021, and Gizmo in March of 2023. We're excited to share our love with everyone and can't wait to celebrate!

It all started in the year of 2014...
