Wedding Reception

Our Wedding

Carolina was seventeen years old when she first met twenty one year old Gregorio in La Pradera, Manta, Ecuador. This was the beginning of their love story. Due to a twist of fate, Carolina moved away to another neighborhood and they lost contact. A few years later, they found each other again unexpectedly when a mutual friend gave Gregorio Carolina's number with her permission. The next day Gregorio reached out and their love story blossomed again. The following years brought romance and joy, sadness and hardships, which they learned to overcome together and are stronger for it. They dedicated those years to also take care of their three children, before their civil ceremony on May 31st, 2022. Now they are ready to receive God into their marriage on September 13th, 2024.
