How we met
07.18.2013
Emelyn was studying engineering and Randall was starting from zero...working 3 jobs to achieve his dreams after migrating from Venezuela. One of those jobs, was as the cook at her university.
After 6 months of many flirty smiles but no exchanged words, and after many chicken salads that Emelyn ordered just to be able to see him... destiny played its game.
On the last day of classes before summer, Emelyn was almost back home after finals (she was never going to see Randall again)... when she suddenly remembered she forgot to pick up a check from school. When she went back, they bumped into each other... he invited her to a boat party and the rest is history.
3 months of facetime dating was enough for them to know they had found the one. The following 7 years were about uplifting each other to achieve personal goals.
2 engineering degrees, 2 masters, 1 pilot's license, long distance, dream jobs, and a pandemic were everything they overcame to finally say their I do's!
