Gloria and Jose met as high school juniors, sharing notes and shy smiles across classrooms. What started as a friendship quickly grew into something special. They went to prom together, spent weekends together, and dreamed up plans for the future with hope and excitement. Through college, first jobs, and the highs and lows of early adulthood, their bond only strengthened. They shared countless adventures, celebrated each other's achievements, and found that they were always happiest when together. Eight years after that first nervous “hello,” Jose decided it was time to ask Gloria the most important question of his life. On July 2024, surrounded by the warmth of summer, Jose proposed to Gloria. Their journey from high school sweethearts to life partners had come full circle, and they couldn’t be more excited to start the next chapter hand in hand.
