While both working in Miami, our story began in November of 2019. After meeting each other and what felt like months of talking, we decided to go on our first date, at Chuy's Tex-Mex of all places. It was an instant connection; two hours of talking later the wait staff had to kick us and our untouched burritos out since the restaurant had closed and they all wanted to go home! We swore that we had only been there 5 minutes!

Fast forward fifteen dates later, on Christmas Eve 2019, we decided to give the whole relationship thing a shot! Four short months later, the pandemic hit and changed everything. What used to be restaurant dates at swanky Miami restaurants quickly turned into fishing dates in the Everglades and everything else we could think to do outdoors. It was becoming increasingly hard to see each other through the start of the pandemic balancing between work and everchanging lockdown rules, so we made the not-so-difficult decision to move in together! Soon after, we decided to grow our family and got a black lab puppy, Toby. A year or so later, we made the decision to leave Miami for better opportunities in Keystone Heights where we bought our first and forever home for the 3 of us!

Fast forward to December 31, 2023 at 11:59pm,we decided on forever. In front of our Puerto Rican family, at Lirelys' childhood home surrounded by fireworks and champagne, Drew proposed and Lirelys said yes, of course!

It has taken a couple of months to begin wedding planning for our special day, but we are here now and are so excited to spend the end of nearly eight months of hard work, laughs, tears, and a whole lot of love together with our family, friends, with all of YOU!

We truly appreciate all of your love and support over nearly the last five years of our relationship and are so grateful to give you all a weekend of fun, food, dancing, and drinks - which hopefully none of us will ever forget.

With love, D & L
