Our friendship began in December 2006 at the ages of 19 years old (Raymond) and 20 years old (Jazel). Our friendship grew stronger throughout the years as the experiences we shared brought us closer together. We discovered we had many things in common, such as growing up in the same neighboring areas, and we even went to the same middle school together. It was not long before we became best friends. It was great to watch each other go through the different stages of life. Whether it was going through heartbreak or adversity we had each other’s back and helped each other get through it. Having seen each other go through relationships that didn’t work out we decided to make a pact. The pact or promise we made to each other was if we both were still single by the age of 40 years old we would marry each other. It became an ongoing joke in which we would remind each other of throughout the years. One evening when we were having one of our many deep conversations, we realized our feelings for one another could no longer be ignored. We decided to begin dating and see where this new relationship would lead. We fell in love with each other on a deeper level as we rediscovered each other in a different way. We later had Alina and she brought so much more love into our relationship. We became a family but there was still one more thing we had to do. We got engaged in Yosemite on March 18, 2017. It’s been over 12 years since we met, 5 years since we been dating, and 4 years since we became parents to our beautiful Alina. Even though we're already a family and have shared many family experiences, we still wanted to have our dream wedding, planned out to our liking. And now it’s here.... We look forward to sharing our wedding day with you all. It’s been a long time coming and we can’t wait to say “I Do.” We became a family, “Los Lopez”, many years ago. On March 30, 2019 we will fulfill our pact and make our forever promise to God and to each other. #LosLopez4ever
