We had our first date at a Starbucks on September 21, 2022. That day, we ordered our favorite drinks and had a great conversation. Afterward we drove to a nearby park, where we talked until the sun set, and together, we saw a shooting star. It was an amazing night that marked the beginning of something truly special.

One date led to another, each date was filled with lots of adventures and laughter that brought us closer together. On our fourth date, we decided to make our relationship official. Believe it or not, we saw a shooting star on every one of those first four dates!

Since celebrating our first month together, we’ve made it a tradition to visit Starbucks on the 21st of every month. Each visit, we relive the joy and excitement of that first date, and take a picture to capture the memory.

Since then, we’ve been on countless trips, and adventures, creating memories that will last a lifetime. We knew early on that our relationship was something special, something real.

On May 24, 2024, we returned to Blue Ridge Vista Point, the place we first visited together, and watched a beautiful sunset. (This was also where we took our first picture we posted on social media to announce our relationship.) To cut the long story short, “Jesse perfectly timed the moment and during sunset, he asked THE question, and Glaizel said YES!”

Now, we look forward to our wedding day and the many adventures that await us. Thank you for being part of our journey and for celebrating our love story with us.
