Sometimes, love find you in the most unexpected places. For us, It all started in a library in Miami, quiet, ordinary, but the backdrop of something extraordinary. I went with a friend to check my Facebook, not knowing that just a few feet away sat someone who would one day become my forever. As I scrolled through my notifications, a friend request popped up, followed by a message. It was from Javian. He was charming, curious, and surprisingly nearby. We struck up a conversation online, then looked up to realize we were in the same room. That moment turned into hours of chatting and discovering how much we had in common. Our taste in music, favorite shows, even our birthdays are just a day apart. We became fast friends but life had other plans. Jay was leaving soon, he had enlisted in the Army for four years. Even with thousands of miles between us, we stayed connected. We'd write letters, check in whenever we could, and sometimes meet up when he was back in town. The bond we formed never faded. Years went by. We lived separate lives, grew in our own ways, but that bond never faded. In 2016, fate stepped in again. Jay moved back to Miami, and we reconnected as if no time had passed. Our friendship picked up right where it left off - only this time, it grew into something deeper. I moved to Tampa to finish college, and Jay, who already had family there, made the move too. From that moment on, we were inseparable. We shared birthdays, holidays, countless laughs, and even quiet everyday moments. And now, we're so excited to share the next chapter of our story , our wedding day with all of you.
