Every love story is unique, but ours has always felt beautifully intentional. It was guided by God’s timing from the very first moment. Michael and Lourdgena met during their senior year at Hawthorne Christian Academy. They weren’t friends first, and there was no slow build. From the very beginning, Michael’s intentions were clear. His pursuit was consistent, genuine, and unmistakable. What some might have seen as fast felt perfectly timed for the two of us. God had opened a door, and we simply walked through it. Their first official date was at Bubacuz Burritos. Conversation flowed effortlessly, laughter came naturally. From that day on, they were inseparable. On November 8th, 2024, they officially began dating. This is the day that marked the beginning of a journey filled with love, growth, and unwavering faith. As they look toward the future, Michael is preparing to serve in the United States Coast Guard, dedicating himself to a life of service and protection. Meanwhile, Lourdgena is pursuing her passion to become a Speech‑Language Pathologist, committed to helping others one person at a time. Though their paths are demanding, they walk them together, trusting that God will guide every step. Their story is a testament to divine timing, intentional love, and the belief that when God writes the script, everything unfolds exactly as it should. They know that by His grace, their marriage will be prosperous, their home will be blessed, and their future will be filled with purpose. Now that you know a little bit about our story that started it all, we are so excited to celebrate with you on this special day!
