Reception

Our Wedding

It was Freshman year of college at Texas Tech University. We were both involved in St. Elizabeth's Catholic Student Association, and we decided to get involved in D.Y.R.T., a ministry that organizes retreats for high school and middle school students. Alejandro winked at me and said "sup," and I winked back. It was love at first sight....Just kidding. However, the first time we met we did sing a song together. We both volunteered to sing a blessing song for our first retreat. It was to the tune of "A Whole New World." We slowly became friends over the next two years.Junior year of college we began to date. We dated for two and a half years, during which God drew us closer together. Then, on October 31, 2014 Alejandro took me to a fancy steakhouse, had my friends trick me into going to a fake game night (thanks again!! Joe and Kayla), played a song that made me tear up, and got down on one knee. Now I am ready to spend the rest of my life with my best friend. I could not be more grateful to our Lord!!!
