How we meet

The many roles of love - by jaime

Ricky and I have been many things to each other. We were co workers, who became good friends. That friendship turned into feelings which led to us dating and ultimatly us wanting to become husband and wife. From Tuesday taco nights, to playing Pokemon go at the park we were finding any excuse to spend more time with one another. (P.S I did not even like Pokemon at the time but wanted the excuse to hangout with him) By the end of the summer our feelings developed into becoming a couple and by the next spring engaged. It is incredible to think how God has used every major and small decisions in both of our lives to lead us to the day Ricky walked into a store with a help wanted signed out front and we meet. That God would have my travel the world to lead me back home to the same job where few months later I would meet the love of my life. That every "no" or closed door led to the memories and the moments of yes with one another. From coworkers, to friends, to dating, to being engaged our love for one another has only grown. We can not wait to stand in front of our friends and family and say I do. Ricky is truly the man I have prayed for with all of my heart.

The Amazing Her!

Believing in Destiny! - Ricky

Jaimesen Lawhorne and I were born 1,189 miles apart. She was born in Orlando, FL and I was born in San Juan, PR. So it's not like we were anywhere close to each other. Around fall of 2014, I decided to transfer and go to The University of Central Florida. This was arguably the biggest gamble that I've ever had to make in my life considering that I was almost done with college and my family is still in Puerto Rico. Not an easy decision. Boy did it paid off. The summer of 2015 is when I first met Jaimesen and the first thing that she ever said to me was "No" so I guess it's a good thing she said Yes when I asked her to marry me 3 years later. When I always think about the kind of person she is the first word that comes to mind is AMAZING. She will put others people needs way before hers. Nothing about her is selfish or inconsiderate. She always has this glow that makes everyone around her better including me. Jaime did a mission trip called The World Race, where it takes a group of people around 11 countries for 11 months. This is not a fancy vacation trip or staying in luxurious hotels, not at all, this was 11 months of traveling place to place in hot small busses, long plane rides, teaching children in underdeveloped countries, building houses, taking serious risk by helping other people in some very sketchy situations, but most importantly she did all of that with love. Spreading the word of Jesus and getting to live her dream. Not a lot of people can say they have done that. Just by listening to her AMAZING stories I knew this woman was so special. As I sit and write this, I think of all of the amazing moments we've had together. She makes me laugh, she makes me want to better man, she makes me the happiest guy in the world. How do I know she is the one?Because, she has seen me at my worst and stayed but not only that she helped me get back up and made me stronger. I'm truly blessed to being able to call this woman my wife on December 06th.

Why December 6?

If you habe neet Ricky you know he loves Cheistmas. One nught last winter we were dicsusing the orgin of Santa Claus. A few google searches latter we were reading about St. Nicholas day and in european folkloor December 6th is one of the mist blessed days to get married on. Way back when story says that on December 6th Young couples wishing to marry but who could not afford a wedding would hang socks over the chimny and St. Nicholas would drop coins in the socks and bless their wedding. Ledgend says December 6 or St. Nicholas day is a truly blessed day to be married. ❤️
