We really met and got to know each in our summer of sophomore year going into our junior year of high school. I don't think either of us went into that summer thinking that we would be starting the rest of our lives together. We began dating on August 21, 2012 and got engaged 8 years later on June 16, 2021 (in the midst of a pandemic!!!). Over the last 9 years we have grown as individuals and as a couple. We've hit amazing milestones together so far with our greatest one yet---BECOMING HOMEOWNERS! It has been an exciting (and stressful lol) journey getting to this point in our lives. We are so excited to celebrate our love with all of our friends and family this year & are looking forward for what's to come for the Rivera family :)
