Our Once Upon a Never Ending Love Story

HOW WE MET: Our love story starts in 2019 after many failed attempts to find "the one". Our paths were connected by the magic of the internet... we matched on Tinder! We clicked immediately as we discovered that we were both from the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. As we immersed ourselves in long conversations for weeks, we realized we were living not too far away from each other. Super excited to meet Manuelle, I decided to take my chances and ask him if he would want to meet. There was a small catch to this though... he was 600 miles away stationed in a base in North Carolina serving for the United States Marine Corps! Although the thought of having a long-distance relationship seemed scary for us, we were up for the challenge and ready to make our relationship work. We experienced many emotions, and beautiful moments together as well as many frustrations, that helped us build a stronger relationship. Our love has strengthened over the years and despite our many differences, we have found ways to make our love connection stronger through the art of cooking, traveling, and yes... believe us when we say watching camping videos on YouTube and envisioning our camping trips together! Now, let’s fast forward to THE DAY! THE PROPOSAL: In July 2022, Manuelle traveled down to Florida from base camp for his usual 4th of July visit. I planned for his arrival, thinking it would be just our usual crazy weekend of enjoying every moment of our time together. Little did I know, he had bigger plans! But… the weather had plans too. After brainstorming ideas, and 2 change of plans, he gathered his family before dinner and decided to POP THE BIG QUESTION as I posed for a picture! Yes, very clever he is! The room filled with tears, joy, and laughter... I SAID YES and, The rest is history... So, as we embark on this journey to say "I DO", we would love to have your attendance and celebrate with you. Get ready! He will be there, she will be there, and you will witness their love everywhere.

COMO NOS CONOCIMOS:   Nuestra historia de amor empieza en el 2019, luego de muchos intentos fallidos de encontrar a la persona indicada. Nuestro caminos se conectaron con la magia del internet... hicimos match en Tinder! Nuestra conexión fue inmediata al descubrir que los dos veníamos del mismo lugar, nuestra bella Isla del Encanto. Mientras nos sumergimos en largas conversaciones por semanas, nos dimos cuenta que no vivíamos muy lejos de cada uno. Emocionada por conocer a Manuelle Alejandro, saqué valentía para preguntarle si quería salir y conocernos. Había un pequeño detalle a esta pregunta que cambiaría nuestra situación... aunque sí vivía en Florida, Manuelle Alejandro estaba a 600 millas de casa, en una base de Carolina del Norte sirviendo para el United States Marine Corps!   Aunque la idea de tener una relación de larga distancia parecía ser un poco complicada y nos daba miedo, estábamos listos para luchar contra viento y marea para hacer que nuestra relación floreciera. Tuvimos muchas emociones encontradas, pasamos por muchos momentos hermosos juntos al igual que por muchas frustraciones, que nos ayudó a fortalecer nuestra relación como pareja. Nuestro amor se ha fortalecido al pasar los años y a pesar de nuestras diferentes formas de pensar, hemos encontrado formas de llevar nuestra relación mas allá a través del amor por la cocina, viajes, y si... créanme cuando les digo que sentarnos a ver videos de acampar en YouTube e imaginar nuestras próximas aventuras a cumplir!   Ahora, avanzemos al gran día   EL DIA DEL COMPROMISO:   En julio del 2022, Manuelle viajaba de vuelta para Florida para su visita habitual de fin de semana para el 4 de julio. Yo me preparaba para su llegada, pensando que sería solo otro fin de semana como de costumbre en el cual tratábamos de disfrutar cada minuto que teníamos juntos y aprovechar los pocos días en compañía de cada uno. Lo que no sabía era que él tenía planes muchos más grandes para nosotros! Pero, el clima también tenía planes para ese día… Luego de buscar ideas y 2 cambios de plan, Manuelle reunió a su familia para fotos antes de una salida a cenar y decidió hacer LA GRAN PREGUNTA mientras yo posaba a la cámara! Si, muy astuto es el! La sala llena de lágrimas, felicidad, aplausos y risas... di el SI.   El resto es historia...   Así, que mientras embarcamos en este viaje para decir SI, les pedimos de su asistencia para celebrar todos juntos. Preparen sus mejores atuendos, ya que ese día se crearán hermosos recuerdos!
