It all started in January of 2019, a moment we’ll never forget. One day, Karmen was scrolling through Instagram and noticed a message sitting in her inbox. When she clicked to read it, there it was—Kameron’s picture. Her first thought? “Another DM from a guy, huh?” Little did she know, that little message would be the start of something big. Kameron’s message was simple and respectful: “You seem like a really cool girl, and I’d like to get to know you.” From there, a spark was lit. But of course, Karmen didn’t make it too easy for him. They exchanged texts on and off for a few months, chatted on the phone a few times, and slowly started to piece together how their lives had been so close—yet never crossed paths. They were both from Beaumont and, as fate would have it, Kameron had grown up just a street away from Karmen’s grandmother’s house! It felt surreal that they had lived so close for so long without ever meeting. But looking back, it became clear: God’s timing is always perfect. Had they met any sooner, they might not be where they are today. In May of 2019, Kameron finally asked Karmen out on their first date. He took her to her favorite seafood spot, 88 Boiling, where he told her to order whatever she wanted. (Of course, Karmen went all out with snow crabs and crawfish—because why not?) After dinner, they hopped into Kameron’s Camaro and sang Trevor Jackson’s “Right Now” at the top of their lungs all the way to the movies. That song became their song and will definitely make an appearance on the wedding playlist—it’s only fitting. From 2019 to now, their relationship has been a journey of love, growth, and learning. They’ve figured out how to treat one another, how to communicate, and, most importantly, how to love deeply. Through all the highs and challenges, they’ve only grown stronger together. It’s true what they say: some things are just meant to be. You can’t spell Kameron without Karmen, after all! They truly complete each other, like peanut butter and jelly. Kameron is Karmen’s best friend, the one who keeps her grounded, while Karmen is the one who keeps Kameron organized and on track (and makes sure he doesn’t lose things!). Now, here they are, ready to say “I do” and step into this next chapter of their lives together. Karmen and Kameron are so excited to share this special day with all of you—thank you for being part of their journey and their love story!
