After scouring Shaadi, M4, DilMil and every imaginable matrimonial, I turned to the ultimate matchmaker--Dany Benjamin. Actually, I'd like to think it was God using a long-time friend and his wife (Diana) at the perfect time to help me find Justina. The story below explains everything in a little more detail but our story is a testament to God's providence and provision in both of our lives.

On March 29th, 2016, it donned on Diana and Dany that Justin and I were meant to be. They texted me and described this perfect boy that fit all my criteria, so naturally, I was skeptical and uninterested but slightly curious what all the hype was about. I finally gave in and said I'd give him a chance but at that time, I had -1% expectation this was going to work. Funny part about the story is that I knew who Justin was before they mentioned him. At an engagement ceremony, I was sitting at my table and happened to look up and made eye contact with this guy sitting at the table with all my other friends. As soon as we started talking, I realized he was the real deal so I immediately wanted to end it so as not to waste his time. I had just started my first year of physical therapy school and not willing to be serious with someone let alone get married. But let me tell you- Justin Philip does not give up easily. As many times as I told him he could leave, he never did.  I know it was the Lord who orchestrated our whole story because looking back, neither of us could've planned everything so delicately and intentionally. All I know is that I am stuck with a boy that I could love forever and that Jesus made it happen. 

Thank you for everyone who has stood by our side in support and prayer. We are excited you get to experience this big day with us! ~ Photo credit: Cristy Angulo Photography & Laura Meyers Photography
