Our Wedding

We first met at Long Beach Poly High School, where we were simply acquaintances, crossing paths but never truly seeing what was ahead. After graduation, we stayed in touch through social media, exchanging messages here and there, but life never quite brought us together beyond that. Then, in 2023, everything changed. We locked eyes at a family gathering, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still. Yet, we remained just friends, not realizing that God was quietly weaving our stories together. A year later, at another family gathering, fate—or rather, divine timing—placed us in the same space again. This time, we talked the entire night, and by the end of it, there was no denying it: something was different. Something was unfolding between us that neither of us could ignore. In February 2025, we finally stepped into what God had been preparing all along—we started dating. And as we opened our hearts to one another, God revealed something beautiful: we were everything we had been praying for in a partner. The connection between us was effortless, deep, and undeniable. Every conversation, every moment together felt like confirmation that this love was meant to be. We weren’t just growing together; we were falling—deeply, intentionally, and with a love that we knew was God-orchestrated from the very start.
