These past seven years have been filled with love, growth, and so many blessings. Ray and I went to high school together, but our story truly began years later when we were reintroduced at the gym. Ray was always on the court, faithfully hooping (—and somehow finding a way to shoot his shot every evening) while I was working the front desk. His persistence and charm eventually won me over, and shortly after, we went on our first date. From that moment on, we’ve been inseparable ever since. We feel so blessed to have each other as lifelong partners and best friends. Knowing one another has shown us what unconditional love truly means. Over the years, we’ve become each other’s rock, support system, and safe place. Along the way, we’ve built our own little family with our fur babies, Fury and Raya, and we look forward to continuing to grow our family together. We’ve also been fortunate enough to travel the world side by side, creating unforgettable memories, and we can’t wait to keep exploring life together. And now, we’re so excited to say yes to forever.
