Long before spells were spoken, fate began its work in a college drawing class. Jose noticed Christen immediately, drawn to her confidence and the quiet kindness beneath it. Though she had sworn certain vows of her own and he knew her brilliance came with a touch of vanity, Jose sensed a deeper magic within her: a kindness rare and powerful. Yet destiny is a clever professor, and one ordinary day among friends, a single kiss revealed the truth both had tried to ignore—this was magic neither could unlearn. As Christen grew close to Jose’s family and felt their love surround her, both hearts knew the truth. What began with hesitation soon turned into devotion, and their bond deepened with every shared adventure—exploring Disney World, building forts at home, hosting murder mysteries, rolling dice in Dungeons & Dragons, and capturing moments through film cameras. Each memory became a spell in their shared story. After a short eleven years, Jose offered his greatest enchantment, flying Christen to Japan and proposing before Kanazawa Castle with a ring forged of love and wonder. Now, standing at the threshold of marriage and the family they will build, they invite you to witness their greatest lesson yet.
