(Written by Paul) - Our story began on November 20th, 2022 in Houston, TX. I took a trip with some friends down to Texas to escape the Cleveland winter and visit some old pals from down south. On my last day in town, I attended a music festival and cookout. I was expecting to meet up with my good friend Matt at the event, but he wasn't able to make it. In a strange twist of fate, he gave his ticket to Ana so she could go instead. I got there early and noticed her walk in with one of her best friends, Lily. They both had long dark hair and I couldn't initially tell if they were sisters or friends. Throughout the night I couldn't help noticing them both laughing and having a ton of fun. Ana, wearing a short dress, heels and jean jacket, stood out to me against the sea of concert T-shirts. I don't know if you could call it "love at first sight" but I was definitely thinking about talking to her... Then I remembered it was my last night in town and decided there wasn't much point. Fast forward to around 1030pm... Ana had cashed out her tab and was slowly getting ready to go home soon. Luckily, she saw me and decided to come up to me beforehand to introduce herself and say hello. I was pleasantly surprised and caught off guard that this girl I had been noticing all night was the one who took the initiative to approach me and not the other way around. I bought us each another drink and grabbed a table so we could talk and get to know each other a bit. We got along instantly but when she found out I was from Ohio, she also didnt think much could come of it. We exchanged numbers and she eventually left with Lily, waving to me as they pulled out of the parking lot. Neither one of us were sure we'd ever see each other again. We kept in close contact from there, texting and calling each other and eventually she came to visit me in Ohio a few times. I made trips back to Houston as well, and before you know it, a relationship developed. We talked about the future and what we each wanted out of life and had very similar visions and values. As things got more serious, she was considering moving to Ohio with me. This was a big decision, so she agreed to get a job near me and spend a summer here to see if it truly worked. Well...things could not have gone more perfectly, and we've been together ever since. Through this time, we've gotten to know each other's family well, and have shared some great experiences together. We both come from cultured, hard-working Greek and Mexican backgrounds. Soon we will all officially become one unit and nothing has ever felt more natural. We look forward to continuing to grow together and achieve all the adventures and successes life has to offer. It will truly be an honor to spend our special day on July 26th surrounded by family and some of our greatest friends.... We look very forward to seeing everyone and hope you can join us!
