Our Story

Paul and Gadea's love story began in 2014 when they crossed paths in physics class at Michigan State University. Bonding over challenging coursework, they not only conquered academic hurdles but also discovered a deep connection that would shape their future. After years of shared laughter and countless memories, Paul's proposal to Gadea was nothing short of magical—it happened on the balcony of Boldt Castle in Thousand Islands, NY. Gadea's initial response, 'Are you serious?' captured the surprise and joy of the moment before she enthusiastically said yes. Paul's commitment to serving in the military meant their love had to withstand the test of distance for several years. Despite the challenges of being apart, across the country and around the world, their bond grew stronger, proving that love knows no bounds. Luna, their adorable puppy, became a cherished companion during this time, adding an extra layer of joy to their lives. Join in celebrating love as they embark on the next chapter of their lives together!
