Our Wedding

Our journey together feels like something straight out of a sitcom. It all began when Mercedes and her friends lived in an apartment on the first floor, while a group of rowdy guys, including Evan, lived directly above them. Mercedes’ roommates, fed up with the noise, would bang on the ceiling with a broom and even throw rocks at the boys’ windows. Naturally, this got their attention. The boys came down to introduce themselves, and soon enough, both groups were hanging out regularly. One cold day, Mercedes locked herself out and was stuck outside, freezing. That’s when the boys found her and invited her inside to warm up. That was the first time Mercedes and Evan really got to talk one-on-one. Shortly after, COVID took over the world, throwing life into chaos. The following year, fate stepped in again. Mercedes stayed in the same apartment but with new roommates, and Evan and the same group of guys were still upstairs. One evening, Mercedes invited the guys down to eat cake and watch a show with her and a friend. Evan and Ethan were the only ones who came over, but neither of them wanted cake or to watch the show. Mercedes was puzzled, but little did she know that Evan was just looking for an excuse to visit her. From that moment, Evan saw his chance and began spending more time with her. After weeks of hanging out, he finally worked up the courage to ask her on a date—and Mercedes said yes!From that day forward, they discovered that the best adventures are the ones shared together. And the rest, as they say, is history.
