Our Story From 1994 to Forever We met in June of 1994 at a pool party — a warm summer day that changed our lives forever. We were introduced by Mario’s nephew, who happened to be Brenda’s friend. That summer, we spent time getting to know one another, discovering a connection that felt easy, natural, and full of promise. What started as something simple quickly turned into a great adventure. On April 30, 1995, we were married in a civil ceremony and began building a life together. Over the years, we’ve created a loving family: three incredible children, a home filled with memories, a few furry companions, and now the joy of one beautiful grandchild. The journey hasn’t always been easy — like all great stories, ours has had its challenges — but we’ve faced them together, side by side. And now, after 30 years of love, growth, and unwavering commitment, we’re finally ready to say “I do” in the eyes of God. We can’t wait to celebrate this sacred moment with the people who’ve been part of our lives and love along the way.
