Alex version: Alex and Gabe went to highschool and middleschool together. However, Gabe was a very cocky guy and Alex was never into that. He was a jock and Alex was the quiet one. While in biology class on 12th grade, Gabe noticed Alex was not the quiet little girl she portrayed and was actually a secret firecracker. So, he decided to pursue her about 6 months before graduation. After many dates and many conversations, Alex started to see that the cocky guy was not cocky at all and was a big teddy bear. Soon after that, it became serious. It was clear that Gabe and Alex knew it was different. And so, off to college they went and one of the hardest year was ahead. They almost did not make it but perseverance was in their blood and so the rest is history. Gabe version: Gabe would say that he is/was a confident person, not cocky. Alex says that Gabe noticed her in biology class, but nah he noticed her around 8th-9th grade. However, given both of their portrayals of one another he never took it upon himself to introduce himself. In 12th grade Gabe started to notice that she wasn't as reserved/shy as she made herself out to be and little by little started to befriend her by calling her Angel Alex. She set out to show him that she wasn't Angel Alex but more like Fun Alex and he found that to be an awesome trait; she always likes doing/trying different things (entertainment wise (hiking, exploring PR, etc), this is PG-13 you naughty minds). In addition, anybody that has truly met Alex knows that her heart is one of the purest and she is one of the best human beings you could ever meet. Gabe told her at the beginning of their relationship that she was going to fall in love with him. She brushed it off but throughout those six months she realized how good of a catch he was (again confidence not cockiness). They did have a hard first year of college being in two separate states, but they kept fighting through the obstacles. Gabe did put up a good fight with A LOT of obstacles from his side in their first couple of years but Alex stayed by his side. Gabe will forever be grateful of her for never leaving his side in one of the most difficult times in his life. He is really looking forward to the rest of their lives together! PS: As we all know Gabe talks to much reason for the difference in stories.

Most people wonder why we selected a random Wednesday. Well, the day of the week is not important but the Date is. For those who know us well, knows that we have lost multiple family members since 2015. Well, one individual was really important to us and that was Gabe's father, Felipe. He passed away in January 9th of 2015. In order to commemorate his memory, we decided to get married on his birthday, January 24th. Unfortunately, it landed on a Wednesday, but we don't care. He would have been 73 years old, Happy Birthday. El cielo celebra!
