We met on the very first day of 8th grade! Andrés was eager to talk to me, but I completely avoided him that day — so much so that when he sat at my table, I actually got up and moved away! (Lol.) A few days later, though, we became inseparable. Since then, we’ve grown together, faced some of the toughest times side by side, and supported each other through it all. Our wedding will be a small, intimate ceremony with just our mothers, my two closest girlfriends as witnesses, and a few of my brothers. We wanted to share this news with you because, even though we aren’t having a big celebration right now, you are important to us. If we’re able to have a larger wedding reception later on, you’ll definitely be on our guest list! Much love, Francis & Andrés
