Our love story began way before I actually met Jose. When I was a little girl, twenty years ago, our parents became compadres when my younger sister was baptized. We don't remember the first time we met initially; we just have these great memories of being drawn to each other after reuniting five years ago. A mutual friend put Jose in touch with me. A week after exchanging text messages we decided to hang out. After not seeing each other over a decade, we finally got to know each other and became inseparable. I admitted to Jose that I had a crush on him when we were kids. Jose said he had a crush on me too, but I think he just said that to make me feel better. I love our love story. I love our history. I know for a fact that if we would have dated when we were younger, we would never be where we are now. Now I know that life worked out exactly how it was supposed to. Here we are, both grown up and in love. I knew from the very beginning that Jose was someone I wanted to have in my life. Since then, Jose has become my very best friend, my everything. I believe it was all destiny. It was God’s plan. We cannot wait to spend the rest of our life’s together.

Years earlier, Alejandra mentioned she’d always wanted to ride in a hot-air balloon. I remembered to write it down and save it for the day I would propose. I wanted everything to be a surprise and extra special. Alejandra is a hard person to surprise. I will never forget this day; I was so nervous and excited to ask Ale to marry me. On May 27th, I got down on one knee and asked Alejandra to spend the rest of her life with me. My heart was filled knowing Ale would be by my side forever. The whole experience was breathtaking and perfect! Our families were there for support. Everything about that moment made us feel so happy and loved. We love looking back at the beautiful pictures and reliving those special memories with our loved ones.
