Our Wedding

This is how it began.

Her side:
 
It all began on a sunny day, and I walked into a grocery store to get some provisions. Behind the counter of the meat market stood the finest piece of meat I had ever seen. In that moment, a shiver flowed up my spine, just as a butterfly floats from one flower to another. This feeling was relentless and undeniable. I knew in that moment that that man was going to be the one I would spend the rest of my life with. After the butterflies subsided and I was able to catch my breath, which was knocked out of me when I saw him, I gathered my thoughts and provisions and headed home. When I finally arrived and had time to process the spontaneous blessing that God put in my life, I realized I had to have this man in my life. Not long after, we went on our first date, and I, being Cuban/Hispanic, we decided, "Why not Mexican?" We went and had an amazing night with a kind of chemistry that would make a science professor jealous. The bartender was mixing potions, and the chef was creating culinary masterpieces. The air was so full of love that we both knew this feeling was going to last forever.

His side:
 
One regular sunny day I woke up and went to work, not knowing my life was about to change forever. Here I am carrying out my duties as normal; all of a sudden, when I glanced up, I realized that I was in the presence of the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She came in to get some things for dinner that night (at least that&#8217;s what I assumed). I tried to play it cool, but I was so gobsmacked by her unparalleled beauty. All I could manage to do was smile. When she left the store, I felt a piece of my heart leave with her. I got this uneasy feeling; I knew I had to find her again. I scoured the internet trying to find her. Then I did. After a while of talking to her, we decided to go on a date. I found out she was Cuban, so we decided on Mexican food. The connection I felt that night was that of a power chord getting plugged into the wall. The air was full of an energy that would have made Zeus bow down. Throughout the night, the laughter, joy, and happiness were so indefinite that I knew she was my forever. The rest is history, stained with beautiful memories that I will cherish forever.
