Here’s a look at Ariel & Emanuel’s answers when asked, “Tell me the story of how you met your fiancé?” Emanuel - “Basically my lil cousin, if he didn’t introduce me to his best friend lol. I would have never met his sister. That’s just the straight to the point response. The extra is she told me we was together and been together ever since.” Ariel - “Long story short, he was waiting for me at the door! I came home from work and the first person i saw when i reached the front door was him. I later found out he was my older brother’s bestfriend’s cousin. The next morning after a night out I told him he was my boyfriend and he agreed. I gave him opportunity to back out but we’ve been together ever since.”

Originally, Emanuel & Ariel were just friends. You know her, you know she gets what she wants. She wanted Emanuel. No one knew for the first few months of their relationship but eventually it had to come out. In the course of these 7 years, they endured many ups and some downs. On 5/6/2020, their five year anniversary, with child number 2 on the way, Emanuel surprised Ariel with a “family day at the lake” which actually turned out to be a surprise marriage proposal!

The marriage of Ariel & Emanuel is a representation of fire and ice. Not only because she is a winter baby to his being a summer baby, but because their personalities are hot and cold. Together they are the perfect temperature, a truly well balanced couple. The next chapter of their story is sharing their wedding day with family and friends.
