Our Wedding

Where It All Began

We met when we were just five years old. From day one Jaslen had an innocent crush on Emiliano. She would chase him around the carpet at reading time and on the playground. Emiliano was very shy so he would always run away from her. The teacher Ms. Nargrete noticed this and decided to partner them up any chance she could. Including during the Cinco de Mayo dance the children put on for their parents.

Headstart

After headstart the two crossed paths on rare occasions. They went to separate school and even lived in different states but still found their way back to each other.

Thanks to social media and remembering each other they found their way back to each other. Emiliano found Jaslen's Instagram and followed her since she remembered her childhood crush she followed him back. Afterwards she added him on snapchat. Months went by and the two hadn't talked at all. Until one day Emiliano got brave and replied to Jaslen's snapchat story requesting movies or tv shows to watch. He told her about 'Only Murders in the Building' (a show they now love and watch together) and 'Fate: The Winks Saga'. From then on they started texting on a daily basis.

Reconnecting

After a month of daily texting the two decided to plan a date. Jaslen lived in Austin Tx, while Emiliano still lived in Carlsbad, NM. Jaslen was planning a trip in November to visit her family and have an early thanksgiving at her grandma's house which she invited Emiliano to and he later went to. He reciprocated the invitation and invited her to his grandparents house for Thanksgiving, which she gladly joined him for. But before that they wanted to hang out alone to get to know one another better in person. So they planned a date.

On November 19th 2022, Emiliano drove over to Jaslen's grandmas house came inside to meet her grandma, mom, brother Isaiah, his girlfriend Angel and their daughter Adriana, then of course Jaslen. After meeting everyone the two were off to lunch at Denny's. On the drive over the two were very nervous they talked very little mostly listened to music. Once they got to the restaurant they sat down and decided to have orange juice and crapes (which for some reason they called creeps). They laughed and joked for hours until they went their separate ways.

Our first date

On Thanksgiving day in 2022, Jaslen went over to Emiliano's grandparents house. Emiliano took Jaslen's hands got onto one knee said her full name and asked if she would like to be his girlfriend. She was a little confused because she thought they were already dating. But she brushed the thought out of her head and said yes. He then asked how they should seal it and she said with a kiss and they had their first kiss.

How they started dating

After about a 19 months of dating, Emiliano popped the question. The two had plans to go to his cousin Elena's graduation party. Emiliano thought the morning of it would be the perfect time to ask considering they would be dressed nice and he could surprise her without being super suspicious. So casually he asked her if she would like to take pictures before they got to the venue, and Jaslen loving to capture every moment she agreed. Later on the two had finished getting ready and it was about time for the party to start, but Emiliano still needed to get those pictures so he convinced her to go to the court house down the street. "We're already late we can be a little later." So they did and they walked to the pavilion outside the court house. Jaslen set up her phone to take a video and she was going to take screenshots from the video for their pictures. Well that was her plan Emiliano had an ulterior motive. They posed "for a picture" then he turned away from her and pulled out the ring he had hidden from her for months. Got down on one knee held her hand and asked her to marry him. At first she was in shock not sure what to do or say all she could get out through tears of joy was "you're joking" eventually she said "YES!" Then the two made their way to the party where they told his family. And called her some of family to spread the news. From there the rest is history and still to come!
