We’re getting married!

Our story began long before we ever realized it was a love story. We first met in middle school during the after-school program — two kids who couldn’t have been more different. Gabriel was the quiet, shy one who tried to blend into the background, while Rosa was the goofy, outgoing girl who made friends with everyone… including the boy who barely spoke. Back then, neither of us imagined that those small moments — the shy glances, the silly jokes, the awkward middle-school chatter — were planting the earliest seeds of something real. It wasn’t until 9th grade, when we both took part in a quinceañera, that things shifted. Somewhere between the rehearsals, the music, and the shared laughs, Rosa started to see Gabriel in a new light. She developed a crush, but Gabriel, being the shy and careful soul he was, wasn’t quite ready to step into those feelings. So life carried on… just not together. Years passed, and we graduated high school, each starting our own chapter — until fate decided it wasn’t finished with us. On New Year’s Day 2018, a simple Snapchat message from Gabriel popped up on Rosa’s phone. Neither of us knew it then, but that “Happy New Year” would change everything. We reconnected naturally, effortlessly, learning about each other’s dreams, fears, interests, and what we hoped for the future. Conversation after conversation, it became clear that the timing was finally right — and that the connection we felt all those years ago wasn’t just coincidence. It was the beginning of forever. And now, after growing together, laughing endlessly, and choosing each other every single day, we’re ready to make the sweetest part of our story official.
