Our love story unfolds with the backdrop of St. Mary's University in San Antonio, TX, a place where our individual paths meandered close but never truly converged until fate, through the bond of Reena's brother Xyruz, intertwined our destinies. It was through this unexpected connection that Matt and Reena began their journey, with late-night conversations that blossomed into a deep, electric connection during a shared road trip. That moment marked the beginning of something extraordinary—a realization that we had found something truly special in each other.
Despite the challenge of distance, with Matt in San Antonio and Reena in Phoenix, our commitment to one another only deepened. We vowed to bridge the miles between us, to always find a way to be together, no matter where life took us—be it Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Connecticut, California, or Grenada. Supported by the unwavering belief of our families and friends, and empowered by our shared faith, we navigated every challenge together, our bond strengthening with each reunion.
On our 4th year anniversary, Matt, then working in Connecticut, traveled to meet Reena in San Jose, California. What began as a celebration, with a surprise winery tour in the scenic Napa and Sonoma Valley, unfolded into a life-changing event. Amidst the serene beauty of the vineyards, Matt proposed, a heartfelt plea for a lifetime of adventures together. Reena's immediate "yes" was a joyous affirmation of our deep connection and mutual desire to face the future hand in hand, fortified by love and partnership.
As we stand on the threshold of a new chapter, we extend an invitation to our beloved family and friends to celebrate the love that has flourished between us. Our story, a testament to the enduring strength of love and the magical serendipity of life, is one we are eager to share. With hearts brimming with excitement and gratitude, we eagerly await our union, surrounded by the warmth and affection of those dear to us. We are profoundly thankful for your love, support, and prayers as we embark on this beautiful journey together, with love as our guiding light.
