“When I saw you, I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew” – William Shakespeare Nine years and four dogs later, after meeting for a margarita, we are finally tying the knot. From a simple date at Gringo’s to now, we have been entwined since first meeting face to face. We have been together since 2012 and neither of us could imagine the rest of the trek without the other by our side. “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts”- Aristotle A workaholic with an affinity for a good time and a country girl that couldn’t imagine leaving her hometown had no idea what they were getting into that fateful day of November 1st, 2012. Upon meeting, we immediately knew our lives had changed; Jaime even posted it on Facebook while still at the restaurant. It did not take long to realize that other held what we had been seeking in our lives and we became inseparable. Now fully complete, we have faced losing loved ones, big changes in life and career and even a global pandemic and it has still been the best years of our lives facing it together. Providing strength and love for one another while smoothing out the other’s rough edges, this is a love that was meant to be. Pushing each other to be better we have attained more together than we ever could have alone. God planned for us to meet at that exact time in our lives we did so we were wise enough to see the love He had been preparing us for. Together, there is nothing we cannot achieve. On our happiest day, we ask those who have been a part of our life to celebrate our love and join us for our wedding. Knowing restrictions with travel and potential COVID restrictions, we will be streaming the wedding for those unable to travel. We understand the distance but still would like for all of our family and friends to be there. Please RSVP to https://www.zola.com/wedding/jaimeandpaul2022 .
