Jose and I met while working at Old River Baptist Church. We worked together for a long time and became wonderful friends! We would go out with our coworker to eat, to shop, the zoo, etc. One day 11/09/19 Jose and I told each other we should go on our first date 11/16/19. From that very first date we both knew we wanted to be more than friends and spend the rest of our lives together forever! We began offically dating 11/29/19! We continued dating for 3 years and on our 3rd year anniversay Jose proposed 11/29/22! We both wanted to finish college and become finacially responsible before getting married. Today 11/29/25 we currently have 4 degrees between the both of us, 2 wonderful fur babies, and a beautiful home together. We are so excited to finally be Mr. and Mrs. Varela after a long 6 years together and we are excited for a million more to come!
