We're getting married

What started as a simple message quickly became something neither of us expected. We met online through our work. Both building our own creative businesses. Luke reached out through Instagram inquiring about “work” (or so he said), and from that moment on, we haven’t stopped talking since. I remember seeing his message and immediately running to show my brother, thinking, “Look who just messaged me?!” But what truly made our story different wasn’t just how we met, it was everything that followed. From the very beginning, there were signs that reminded us this was something bigger than us. Luke started his business on March 1st, 2022, the same day my grandpa passed. In his personal Instagram bio is my grandpa’s favorite Bible verse. My last name, Garcia, is his mom’s maiden name. Even my sister once shared she dreamed of naming her son Luke. Each detail felt like a quiet reminder that God had been writing this story long before we realized it. Through deep conversations and growing together in faith, we knew this wasn’t temporary, we had found our person. Our partner. The one we wanted to do life with. Luke proposed in Ruidoso, New Mexico, during a weekend that felt both anticipated and completely special. It was just the two of us, sharing a moment we’ll hold onto forever. While a kind couple captured it for us, there’s something so meaningful about knowing that moment was, at its core, just ours. Now, we look forward to building a life together. Continuing to grow, support each other’s dreams, and walk into this next chapter hand in hand, trusting that the same God who brought us together will guide us every step of the way.
