Our Story Emily and Adan met through Emily’s sister, Maggie, and what began as a casual friendship quickly took an unexpected turn — to the track. Or so Adan thought. Back then, Emily was in her “running era,” and Adan, a serious runner with a lightning pace, invited her for a jog around Memorial Park. What he didn’t know was that Emily’s version of “running” was more of a relaxed, scenic tour — think 13-minute miles with plenty of time to wave at squirrels and contemplate life. Adan, clocking in at a brisk 8-minute mile, was understandably confused when his running buddy vanished somewhere between the first water fountain and mile marker one. But despite the pace difference (and a few jog-walk negotiations), a friendship started to grow. And slowly — much like Emily’s run times — that friendship grew. Fast forward a few years, and the two found themselves on a European adventure. Emily had always dreamed of visiting Paris — as a teenager, she had a full-blown Eiffel Tower obsession (no seriously, she probably still has a glittering Eiffel Tower keychain somewhere). Adan, ever thoughtful and quietly romantic, remembered that. On one magical night in the City of Love, with the Eiffel Tower twinkling behind them like something out of a movie, Adan asked Emily to spend forever with him. She said yes to the man who made her dream come true — not just the Paris one, but the one where she gets to build a life with her best friend. Now, we're tying the knot and can't wait to celebrate this next chapter with all the people we love. Thank you for being part of our story.
