Our Wedding

<p>Love can find you anywhere at any time, all you have to do is answer the call. A Saturday back in 2020, the first one of the month of March I might add, unlike any other was the beginning of a prominent love story. Two beautiful souls on two different paths crossed at an intersection of uncertainty but would soon become irrefutable. Corey was attending and assisting a long-time friend at a vendor event in Brooklyn that he practically had to be forced to go to, being that he was the only individual who possessed a vehicle at the time. Yvanna happened to be an actual vendor at the event who was an “up and coming” proficient baker that specializes in alcoholic infused baked goods. What they both didn’t realize as they were enjoying the evening, there was a growing nuance to their interactions as Corey became infatuated with Yvanna’s strawberry cupcake. No pun intended. So much so, he began to approach her table again and again as her entourage had their own reservations jokingly to just purchase a set. As the night came to an end, they were both so pre-occupied the likelihood of any proper introduction was far and gone.</p><p>Recapping that evening with the many photographs that were taken, Corey came across a still shot of what appeared to be Yvanna on the far-right side admiring her table in the background of his friends posing. Not only did he begin to reminisce about the cupcakes, but the beautiful young woman also who created them.&nbsp;His only option now was to prowl through any pictures of the event on Instagram to find whatever lead he can grasp for a proper introduction of himself. Keep in mind, he was already processing and piecing together remnants of a broken heart and had no idea that the actual woman of his dreams was within reach albeit from her loving care and compassion that he fell in love with not only from her baking but her persona. From that moment on they managed to find time to have Netflix movie dates and texting away as if they were right there with one another. Subsequently becoming their norm after Corey caught Covid and they couldn’t risk any close interactions for their health. Soon after its passing , Corey wasted no time to see Yvanna at every chance he got whether it was going all the way to Queens or Yvanna coming all the way to Jersey. To the audience, I’m sure you can tell this is true dedication and desire here. From then on, after a well thought out decision served best with a side of slight uncertainty, Yvanna crossed the East River and moved to New Jersey to begin her new journey with Corey. One thing was certain was that the love that bloomed between the pair burned ever so bright in every way manageable as they grew inseparable. Spontaneous dates, food adventures, DIY projects and more, this duo has brought so much out of each other that their gratuity is seamlessly representative of the sealant that holds them close. Even as fatherhood is Corey’s primary focus, CJ has gravitated towards Yvanna in so many beautiful ways, it’s such a sight to see. Her newfound duty even as being a female role model for CJ as somebody he can depend on full time has grown on her and a title she takes very seriously. Though life can change and cause somewhat of a conundrum, their love has been built on providing first and reciprocation after that. They both have had different paths and, in many instances, may have been taken advantage of but the bond their share upon this day and for the future has been predicated on knowing that their mutual feelings will keep their hearts full and their smiles wide. As they continue to live happily with CJ, their dog Layla, and a loving nurturing family, with aspirations to one day welcome a new addition let us join them on their journey to live Happily Ever After.</p>
