VICTORIA'S STORY It was a lazy Christmas afternoon in 2014 when I decided I was going to check my dating app I hadn't been on for over a year. Suddenly; a message, flirt, and wink all came from 1 user. After a few hours of messaging back and forth, we decided to talk on the phone. And we did...for days. All culminating in our first date (January 10th). Still a bit unsure of online dating, I decided to meet Shawn at my job: Traders Village. Toughing it through the blustery alleys, he made his way to me. Even though our first meeting was short, it made a lasting impression. That 1st date is a mirror of our relationship; we tough out the rough moments to find solace and warmth in each other and family, and enjoy every minute we spend together building a future. SHAWN'S STORY You know when you ask God for someone in your life that would help you grow and accomplish more than you ever thought? Well, God answered my prayer with Victoria Bueno. We met on a dating website and talked for a good bit before we even exchange numbers. Once we did, we were texting and calling constantly. I was crazy for her (still am). I couldn't get her off my mind. Since neither of us had cars and we were long distance, it was hard for us to meet. But when we finally got a chance, we took it. A frozen Traders Village. I was so excited and ready to finally meet her in person. Her pictures paled in comparison; she was more beautiful than I ever could've imagined. Inside and out; I knew this was the girl I wanted to marry.
