Our Wedding

Our story began on January 16, 2022. It all started when my cousin Joshua Esquivel posted my sister and I on Snapchat. Rob noticed both of us but wasn’t sure if I’d say yes if he asked me out. Until Joshy told him I was the single one. Upon hearing this, I told Joshy to go ahead and give Rob my number. Rob would text me asking to hang out but I would slack. Leading him to blocking my number. Months later on September 17, 2022, I told Joshua I was stopping by and he told Rob. Rob didn’t believe him and as I pulled up Rob couldn’t believe his eyes. That day I officially met Rob in person. We shook hands and I tried conversing with Rob but he was still in shock and nervous. On December 7, 2022, I messaged Rob on Facebook messenger and gave him my number once again, and told him to text me. After going out to buffs on our first date, December 29, 2022, our friendship began. In the new year of 2023 we became the best of friends. After getting to know him and seeing his marvelous swagger we gradually fell in love. Together we are a team. Our team consists of 3. Rob, Ross and Me!
