They say the best things in life happen unexpectedly, and this is true for how our story began. Four years ago, Mariana attended a young adults' Bible Study at Ben's parents' house not knowing she would meet the love of her life here. Our beautiful relationship started off as a friendship that was a strong foundation for the love we have for each other today. After a year of wonderful dates and time spent together, our love for each other continued to grow, and now we are ready to say, "I do" and spend the rest of our lives together serving the Lord and building a family.
