Our Wedding

Our story actually started back in 2017, when I (MJ) began my very first job as a crew member at Raising Cane’s. I was 17, trying to figure out how to survive in the fast-paced world of chicken fingers and crinkle-cut fries, and somehow I found my groove. Along the way, I made some great friends, one of them being my manager, Kevin Garibay (or as everyone calls him, KG). Now, KG didn’t just train me on how to bag combos or survive weekend rushes. Over time, through long shifts and early mornings during school breaks, he got to know&nbsp;me, not just as his employee, but as a person. What I didn’t know was that he was secretly plotting a romantic setup. According to him, I wasn’t just a good employee, I was&nbsp;future sister-in-law&nbsp;material. For the next two years, KG never let it go. He was absolutely convinced I was meant to be with his little brother, Andres. And I mean&nbsp;never&nbsp;let it go. I couldn’t clock in without hearing about my “destiny.” Fast forward to fall of 2018. I had transferred to a different Raising Cane’s and moved about 40 minutes away for college. Around that time, Andres popped in to see KG and casually asked about me. Cue dramatic reveal: I was gone. College life had claimed me. But instead of giving up, Andres did what any determined Gen Z romantic would do, he stalked my social media and found a way to keep in touch. Before we knew it, we were messaging nonstop, turning fall texts into winter conversations and slowly getting to know each other. Then came the moment: Andres asked me out on our very first official date. He sweetly asked what kind of food I liked, and I said, “Honestly, I’m good with anything… just not breakfast food.”So, naturally, our first date was… at a breakfast café. At&nbsp;10 a.m.(Yes. I still said yes to a second date.) One brunch betrayal later, a few more fun outings, and on April 15, 2019, he asked me to be his girlfriend. And the rest? Well, it’s been a lot of laughter, love, and the occasional box combo ever since.
