It all started at work in December 2016… Carol walked in as the new supervisor—his boss, technically. And Alex? He was exactly who you’d expect… a little bold, a little funny, and definitely a shit talker. Their first impressions weren’t exactly love at first sight. Carol thought he joked too much. Alex caught her on a rough morning and teased she must be from ESSJ… But the next day? She walked in completely dolled up— and from that moment on, he never looked at her the same. ⸻ What started as playful banter quickly turned into something neither of them could ignore. They began dating in January 2017, but like any real love story… timing mattered. After taking the summer apart, they found their way back to each other— and by November, it was no longer just fun… it was real. ⸻ There was always something undeniable between them— a chemistry that felt effortless, a friendship filled with laughter, and conversations that could last for hours. What they built wasn’t just love— it was a foundation. A ride-or-die kind of love. The kind that grows stronger through every season. Blending families. Building a home. Creating a life side by side. Through it all… they chose each other, every single time. ⸻ Then came the moment that changed everything. What was meant to be a blended family photoshoot turned into something unforgettable. At the beach, as the sun began to set, what felt like just another photo became the moment. It was just the two of them walking along the shore… until suddenly—he stopped. He got down on one knee with the ocean behind them and the sky glowing gold. For once… she was completely surprised. And without hesitation—she said yes. ⸻ Now, after years of building a life together, they are ready for their next chapter. To stand before God, surrounded by their family and friends, and make a promise that has already lived in their hearts. ⸻ August 29, 2026 A day to celebrate love, family, and everything that led them here. ⸻ Lo nuestro es un amor eterno.
