Ethan & Mercedes March 8th, 2025

It all began 7 years ago in 2017. Starting off as acquaintances and friends until Ethan asked to take Mercedes on a date out of the blue. They went to Bento for sushi and then played arcade games all night, Ethan didn’t know Mercedes grew up with a brother and was a professional video game player, she defeated him at Mortal Kombat, (multiple times). It was the best date of Mercedes' life. For months, Mercedes was unsure and stubborn about dating anyone and Ethan waited until she was ready because he had fallen in love. On February 25th they went on a typical fishing hike together and Mercedes said, I am ready. God put them in each other's lives at the perfect time. Their many similarities and quirks can only be identified as something soulmates have. They both have a huge love for the outdoors and spontaneous adventures, camping in secluded areas, hiking Florida trails and mountain tops, to spending time with their Beagle Dachshunds Nancy & Bean, to cooking from scratch at home, and helping each other through everything that life throws at them. It’s a love that is unexplainable that grows with each year.
