Looking back at our story, it's crazy to think that if one thing wouldn't have happened how it did, we might not be here today.

All throughout high school, Jose and I were a part of the same friend group, but never met. It wasn't until a friend's birthday party, which Jose almost didn't attend, that we met. From the first moment I looked at Jose, I felt a familiarity with him. And apparently, he felt the same. As soon as the party ended, we both asked our mutual friend about the other. I got to know Jose was interested in me, while he remained in the dark. After a few weeks of daily texts and making excuses to be in the same place as each other, Jose asked me to be his girlfriend!

After that moment, we became inseparable. For the last 9 years, we have been through so much. Yet we still choose to love one another every day. Jose is sunshine. He loves everyone so selflessly and he inspires me to be stronger, braver, and most of all, kinder. Anyone who has met Jose instantly knows how special he is. I am the luckiest woman alive to get to stand next to him on our wedding day!
