I, Ciera, went to school in Hagerman, NM and Dominic went to school in Dexter, NM. For those of you who don't know, these are rival schools separated by a bridge and 6 miles. We were in 8th grade marching band (who would have thought) and were playing our annual rival game in Hagerman that year. During halftime, my band teacher asks us to walk over and meet the Dexter marching band which none of us were thrilled with. We walked across the field to introduce ourselves and when I saw Dom, somehow I couldn't stop thinking about him. I did my FBI work and found him on instagram shortly after and we clicked and decided we wanted to go to a date at the fair in Roswell. I had a blast but I ended up breaking his heart and took a break for little over 2 years. We reconnected in summer of 2016 and the rest is history. Since that day, we have graduated college, moved away from home so I can finish my degree as an educator, got a dog and cat, moved back home, started our careers as a teacher and windturbine tech, bought a house, got another dog, and now here we are engaged ready to start our forever. Thank you everyone who supported us other the past 7 and a half years.
