It all started at church—well, for him at least. Adenis noticed me before I ever saw him. It wasn’t until a Sunday game night at my house that our paths really crossed. My cousin played matchmaker and set us up on a double date with my sister and one of his friends. That first date was at Texas Roadhouse, and I was so nervous! After that night, we went on a few more dates, and everything seemed to be going well… until our third date, when I started to think maybe we were better off as just friends. But Adenis didn’t give up. He stayed true to his intentions and continued to show up for me in the most thoughtful ways—bringing me medicine and treats when I was sick, and even surprising me with new shoes when mine were falling apart. His quiet consistency and kind heart slowly won me over, and ever since then, everything has felt just right. Now here we are—getting ready to say “I do,” and so grateful for the journey that brought us here.
