Our story began back in August 2017; we were both doing some shopping at the mall in the same store. I was looking for some shoes for my friend's wedding and Ivan was looking for some shoes for his event. As I was leaving, Ivan stops me and strikes up a conversation that later became the beginning of a beautiful love story. For the following five months Ivan and I built our foundation based off a strong friendship, which consisted of traveling and exploring everything that is life together. Ivan and I then traveled to New York where he asked me to be his girlfriend on the Brooklyn Bridge. It was at this time that we knew we had something special. After two years of dating, Ivan proposed to me, and we eventually got married. We intended to have a wedding but due to COVID we were unable to do so at the time. Five years and two kids later, Ivan and I resumed conversations about having a wedding because we believed our love deserved it. This is a formal invitation to our closest family and friends, we can't wait to see you there.
