Alonzo and Liz first met in 2019 at Shell FCU, where Alonzo was a teller and in charge of making popcorn for customers every Friday. Like clockwork, Liz would show up for her popcorn, exchange quick greetings, and head on her way—no real conversations, just routine smiles. Eventually, Liz joined Shell FCU as a teller at the same branch—only Alonzo had moved on by then to a new role as an Office Ops Rep, helping tellers balance at the end of the day. In a funny twist, he ended up sort of being her boss (kind of like now, but he didn’t write that). Liz’s computer, mysteriously and repeatedly, had “issues” that only Alonzo could fix. This kicked off daily chats on the company messenger, leading to dinner dates and countless trips to Dave & Buster’s—who should really consider sponsoring the wedding! Despite being slow to open up, Alonzo felt something special with Liz. Before making it official, there was one important test—not meeting his family or learning her soccer team (which, tragically, is Club América)—but meeting his dogs, Marley and Leah. They meant the world to him, and their approval sealed the deal. Six months in, Alonzo asked Liz to be his girlfriend. Over the next five years, they grew together supporting, laughing, and loving through it all. Then came the big question: Alonzo asked Liz to be his wife. Their journey hasn’t been without challenges, but as they say, “the best things in life don’t come easy.” As they stand here today, surrounded by the people who have supported and loved them along the way, Alonzo and Liz begin a new chapter—no longer just coworkers, not just dog-approved partners, but now husband and wife. From popcorn Fridays to lifelong promises, their journey has been filled with laughter, growth, and undeniable connection. They’ve built a love that’s rooted in friendship, patience, and understanding—a love that passed every test, even the Marley and Leah one. And while life will still throw its curveballs, they know they’ll face them side by side, with their hearts full and their support for each other unwavering. Here’s to forever—and to every Friday feeling like that very first one. ___________________________________________________________________________ Alonzo y Liz se conocieron en 2019 en Shell FCU, cuando él era cajero y preparaba palomitas cada Viernes. Liz pasaba por las suyas, compartían sonrisas y seguía su camino. Más tarde, Liz también se unió a Shell FCU, y aunque Alonzo ya estaba en otro puesto, comenzaron a hablar más—especialmente cuando su computadora "fallaba" y solo él podía arreglarla. Esas pequeñas interacciones crecieron hasta convertirse en cenas, risas y muchas visitas a Dave & Buster’s. (¡Que deberían patrocinar esta boda!). Antes de formalizar, hubo una prueba clave: conocer a los perros de Alonzo, Marley y Leah. Su aprobación fue todo lo que Alonzo necesitaba. Seis meses después, comenzaron su relación, y durante cinco años compartieron amor, retos y crecimiento. Luego vino la propuesta: Alonzo le pidió a Liz que fuera su esposa. Hoy, rodeados de quienes los quieren, celebran no solo una historia que comenzó con palomitas, sino el inicio de una vida juntos. De compañeros de trabajo a pareja aprobada por los perros, ahora son esposo y esposa. Un amor construido sobre la amistad, la paciencia y un vínculo auténtico—listos para enfrentar lo que venga, juntos.
