Every great love story begins with a breakfast burrito, a Carl's Jr. box meal, and a panoramic ocean view of Laguna Beach. Maybe not all love stories, but we’d like to think that's where our story began. Actually, if we’re being honest, it really started many years before that, at a time when we were both focusing on our relationship with Christ and attending the EPIC (Endless Possibilities In Christ) meeting at St. George Coptic Orthodox Church. Traversing our spiritual lives together was a great way to lay the foundation of our friendship, and we continued to nurture it over deep conversations, grueling gym sessions, and massive amounts of junk food. In time, we grew, both as individuals, and also as best of friends, supporting each other through the best and worst of times for several years. Little did we know that God had even greater plans for us, as our friendship evolved into something as beautiful as being united together in Him. September 5th, 2020 marked the day we took our first official step toward marriage when Mariett said, “Yes!” at the place where it all began. On November 7, 2021, our relationship will graduate into a perfect and blessed union, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate the beginning of this new journey with each and every one of you!
