The beautiful couple first met in middle school at St. Odilo back in 2010. Francesca’s cousin was one of Javier’s best friends, and that is how the couple was introduced. They would text each other all day and night about anything and everything. Over time, their friendship grew stronger, and little did they know they had crushes on one another. However, neither Francesca nor Javier expressed their feelings. As time went on, their friendship drifted and they went their separate ways. About a decade later, Javier messaged Francesca after seeing what he deemed a cute post on Instagram- trying to rekindle the friendship they once had. Seeing Francesca’s post reignited deep feelings Javier had forgotten about. When Francesca saw the message on her phone, she was confused as she was not following Javier’s account at that time. Not until she saw his profile picture did she recognize him and was filled with excitement. To make up for lost time, they planned to see each other every weekend and go on random adventures. Both began to quickly realize their relationship was something very unique and special. They seamlessly reconnected after their time apart picking up right where they left off. No matter how long or how far they were apart, Francesca and Javier found their way back to one another. It is because of their love that we join together with their families in celebrating their lifelong commitment to each other on August 30, 2025.
