Our Story:

The first time we saw each other was at a Leadership Workshop, though nothing came of it at the time. We didn’t approach each other until many months later, when an email from Ramiro sparked a long phone conversation — and the connection began to grow. Ramiro planned our first official date: a weekend in a beautiful place in Savannah, Georgia, called The Mansion. It was a complete surprise, carefully arranged down to every detail. One memorable twist? He was late to pick me up. That day, he was flying a small plane with a co-pilot, and bad weather forced him to land in the middle of nowhere in Florida. He finally reached me by phone, and once he was able to land and call again, we knew our adventure together had truly begun. Our families blended effortlessly. His two children and mine connected instantly, even sharing birthdays in the same months — November and April — as if it were meant to be. Despite all the obstacles, the ups and downs, seven years together followed by seven years apart, our love endured. Today, 14 years later, we celebrate our marriage with God’s blessing, and look forward to continuing our journey together… into infinity.
