Call it fate, call it destiny, but these two lovebirds had no idea that a simple family get together on Mario`s side of the family would be the beginning of this beautiful journey. It all started on Thursday evening, January 25, 2024, with a wave and hello. They both knew from the first time they saw each other there was an instant attraction to each other. Their small talk started off as exactly that, small talk, with lots of looks, smiles, and some flirting. The day ended fast and Mario asked Adriana if she was coming back on Friday night. She said no due to prior plans, he then asked "What about Saturday?" Her response was that she was not invited and he said "Well you are now." That Saturday came and Adriana showed up to his sister's house with two of her boys. Throughout the night they talked and laughed and the chemistry was undeniable between them. Later that night, she found out Mario and his family were going to Las Vegas for Superbowl weekend. He invited her to join them and she happily accepted. Over the next 2 weeks they talked on a daily basis for hours without seeing each other. On February 10th, Adriana met Mario and his family in Las Vegas. They spent the next few days enjoying their time together and quickly came to realize they were falling in love with each other. After an amazing time together in Vegas they returned home. Over the next few weeks, Mario would drive to Schertz to see Adriana. They spent more and more time together and they both knew this was it. On March 2nd, Mario proposed to her and she happily said YES! (Funny how life is. They both never thought they would get married again, yet here they are.) The next few months were a blur trying to figure out a wedding date. Things were moving so fast, but during this time they had become inseparable. They were doing everything together, from kids sporting events, to grocery shopping together. On May 4th, they had a Brown Bag Special with 5 wedding dates written down. February 8th was pulled, which ended up being Superbowl weekend, and Las Vegas was the destination. The last few months have flown by, and here they are getting ready for the big day. They may not know how life is going to be, but they are certain they want to spend the rest of their lives together on this journey. They are truly blessed to have found each other this late in their lives. Life is an adventure.................... The rest of the story has yet to be written.
