Our Wedding

Here's where the journey began, before the lanterns lit up the sky and before love set these two hearts lit aflame. Their backgrounds were so separate; it was the grace of God that these two crossed paths. Nyah, the daughter of Sandra &amp; Conrado Ramirez, is a princess in her own right. Her dad always treated her like his everything, bringing her flowers weekly and sneaking her several dinners, one with each sibling (3). Moreover, she was raised watching and rewatching her Disney cartoons and movies, so she had high expectations of how her future husband would be: a tall, handsome knight in shining armor... well, at least he's handsome. Kevin, on the other hand, we don't know what planet he's from, and even his parents, Alex &amp; Neala Mirand, would admit it. If he wasn't on some crazy adventure with his dad, he would be glued to the TV... watching... History Channel (and sometimes Discovery Channel too). These two crossed paths, out of all places... at an ALL BOYS' SCHOOL. No... Nyah is a female, just to confirm... Well, Kevin went to Servite High School and his soon-to-be wife to the sister school, Rosary Academy. Starved of female attention, Kevin stumbled across a foreign creature on his campus... a WOMAN. Anxious and excited, he offered to help this young lady with carrying her bags. Nyah, looking like a kindergartener with a backpack on both her chest and back, refused. Sure enough, this pack-mule conceded and let Kevin help her carry her bags to the pool for her water-polo match. These two unlikely people soon-enough began to make excuses to hangout and talk. Kevin would wait hours after his track practice, or even at times leave early at times to see her. On their first date, Nyah snuck out of the house to meet Kevin at Knott's Berry Farm and after the date was over...she snatched Kevin's car keys with her... She claims this was an accident, but we all know it was a part of her mischievous plan. Kevin was left stranded in Buena Park until 1:00 am, when his siblings could bring over a set of spare keys. Later the next day, Nyah convinced Kevin that he had to miss the Superbowl Party with his friends to meet Nyah's family and get his car keys back (secretly, of course). From that point forward, she had him locked in, and eventually, one thing led to another, and welp, here we are. These two have made endless sacrifices to make things work, but together they grew stronger in faith, friendship, and love. One day, after graduating from Pepperdine, Kevin was at the bar with his dad. Somehow, they got to the subject of marriage, with Kevin saying that he would start saving up money to marry Nyah. His dad interjected, scolding him, "What are you waiting for, hurry up." By December 10th, 2022, the moment was just right. At Crescent Bay in Laguna Beach, Kevin knelt down and asked for Nyah's hand in the Sacrament of Marriage. In the typical 'Bubbles' fashion (reference to Power-Puff-Girls), Nyah cried and said YES! That sweet moment has brought us all here today for the wedding ceremony and reception of the soon-to-be Mirand Family. Also, Nyah thought it was important to mention (or brag), that she too graduated and is a registered nurse.
