Our Wedding

Our relationship started in 2020 by Abby asking Jose if he wanted to grab Waffle House. From that small date our relationship bloomed into something beautiful. We got our first apartment together in 2021 and were so happy with the little life we were building. We both love going out and trying new places, new foods, and having fun together. When 2023 started, we finally moved into first house. We were so happy to be out of an apartment and living in our home with our 2 dogs. By the end of 2023, we discovered that Abby was pregnant! After announcing our pregnancy at the beginning of 2024, we felt so excited for our little girl to come. In August 2024, we welcome Mariana into our lives. Our love for each other only grew more by seeing us as parents. In September 2024, Jose popped the question in uptown Charlotte with a view of the city. So much has happened these past 5 years and we both have grown as people and in our relationship. We cannot wait to marry each other and celebrate in front of God, our family, and friends.
