Our Wedding

We met on Dec 6, 2024. We chatted on the phone, where we talked about what we foresaw for our future. Our thoughts aligned with one another, and from then on, we both knew deep down we are meant for each other. Many may call it love at first sight. But for us, it is non other than a blessing in disguise. As we got to know each other throughout the time we spent together, our connection strengthened far more than we could have ever imagined. Where he later came straight home to his Gloria in April. With perfect timing, it was just in time for Easter weekend. We soon visited the Tower of Americas where we got engaged on April 18, 2025. Our journey has been extraordinary, we spent countless memorable days together. Both traveling, going out on dates, and having every second together being for the books. We shared endless experiences together and are excited to share one more together but this time with both our families. So save the date, pack your bags, and be ready to make memories! We cannot wait to have you all at our wedding!!
