Welcome to our forever!

We've been in school together since we were 12 years old! We've been best friends since. He says he always loved me even with my pink rosy cheeks, bushy eyebrows, and excessive use of beaded jewelry! I always knew that his goofy self was a keeper, but we didn't date right then! We first met when we were 7th grade, and went through all of middle school, and high school together! We've been friends forever, and we've always loved each other, but our journey didn't begin until God said GO! We've been together 8 years now, and have taken every step as an adventure to grow wiser and stronger as ONE. Even before we knew what the future had in store for us, God had already predestined it for us specifically! How you may ask? Well, funny story really. My family has always been friends with his uncles and aunts. When I mean always, I mean since I was a newborn! As our relationship grew, we made it a mission to find old pictures and prove we have known each other since we were diapered babies! Well, we finally found proof that dated back to 1998, when we were just 4 years old! This picture shows we were across the table from each other, and I kid you not, he was flirting with me (haha), He swears it was the other way around! (haha). Yet, we didn't officially meet until first period of seventh grade in Mr. Alfred's class. And even then, we didn't begin dating until I was a Sophomore in college! Our point, God works everything out so perfectly and gave us time to wait, grow, mature, and gave us time to learn to lean on each other through every stage of life. I wouldn't be who I am without you, honey! Meeting you has been the best part of my life! I can't wait to stand beside you on our special day and declare victory over this next step in our lives. I love you Pook! xoxo, Darcy Jasmine Criollo, soon to be Mrs. Garcia
