Our Wedding

Erik and Reyna's story began at Naples High School, where they crossed paths but didn't start spending time together until March 2021. Despite their different backgrounds, they shared a unique bond—both had spent their early years living abroad, Erik in Peru, and Reyna in the Philippines. These international experiences shaped their perspectives and gave them a deep understanding of each other from the very beginning.The summer after high school graduation in 2021 marked the start of a new chapter. As they pursued their college dreams—Reyna at the University of South Florida studying pre-med and Erik at Stetson University majoring in finance—they made the decision to be together, despite the two-hour distance between them. Determined to make it work, they relied on their roommates for rides and cherished every moment they could spend together.By 2022, after more than a year of dating, they each purchased their own cars, making visits more convenient. This also gave them the freedom to attend church together wherever they were, strengthening both their bond and their faith. Erik signed his contract with the Army, securing a stable future, while Reyna thrived in her studies. As 2024 approached, their conversations turned toward the future. Reyna took on roles as a research lab assistant and caregiver, while Erik received Army orders that kept him away for much of the summer. When they reunited, the reality of graduation and their next steps brought them closer, and discussions of marriage became more serious.On February 1st, 2025, Erik and Reyna got engaged, originally planning a summer wedding before Erik began active duty as a Logistics Officer. However, just weeks into planning, Erik received orders to report to Fort Knox immediately after graduation. With their timeline shifting, they adapted once again—choosing an intimate wedding close to home, surrounded by their loved ones, before embarking on this next chapter together.Through distance, challenges, and the excitement of new beginnings, Erik and Reyna have built a love that remains steadfast. No matter where life takes them, their bond continues to grow stronger—grounded in faith and their shared commitment to each other.
