Such a common way for couples to meet, right? Well, maybe not so much... Yes, we met at work, but our big boss was my dad. Yup, that was rough at first.

It was my first day back at work after a medical leave, and he was the first person that I saw. He was hired while I was gone, so I had never seen him before. I kid you not, I knew instantly that we would be together. But I played it cool, didn't say a single thing, and walked right passed him. He found out later that day that I was the boss's daughter.

Weeks later, we spoke for the first time, and then went on a work trip to EDC Las Vegas with the rest of the team. At that work trip, we watched a few sets together, took our first picture together, and exchanged numbers. After that work trip, my dad told me that a relationship between Javi and I was not going to happen. (Sorry, dad!)

A few weeks later, we went on our first date where we discovered that we were both Christian. Both of us were struggling with our faith at the time, living as lukewarm Christians. Still, our shared faith was the thing that solidified our desire to be together.

Nearly eight years later, that same faith is the very thing that holds us together.

In this time, we have grown in our faith, served at our church alongside one another, formed godly friendships and relationships, all while struggling to keep our faith in a world riddled with evil. While we fight everyday against those worldly powers and principalities, we thank the Lord that through Him, we are victorious. And through Him, we are given the perfect example of what this marriage union should look like.

We can't wait for you to join us on this special day!
