We’re Getting Married

We feel our story feels less like coincidence and more like something that was always meant to be. An invisible string always connecting us. We went to the same elementary and high school. Our story starts long before high school. Years later, we found out my older cousin Christina ended up being Luis's student's teacher at Union Gap. While looking through old photo albums at Luis's mom's house, we found a photo of me in a photo album with Luis's brother. As we got older, we kept discovering more near- misses- mutual friends, almost being at the same gatherings, just barely missing each other time and time again. From young teens who unknowingly shared the same small world, to adults building a life side by side. Our story is not a loud, sudden kind of love, but a steady one- the kind where we continue to show up for each other through every season of life, one where we learn, grow, and dream together.
