We’re getting married!!!

Hello Family, Friends, acquaintances, & generous strangers! Anyone that already knows myself - Sonia, is familiar with my unfortunate health history. Four years ago I was rushed to the ER once again only to find that less than a year after removing 6 pounds of tumors via c-section, they have returned in astronomical size. I was so weak due to blood loss I needed a blood transfusion to even be stable enough for surgery. I was left with a choice to give up my ability to bare a child in hopes to live a healthier, safer life; or, keep my Uterus and continue to battle relentless tumors that would one day take me. After 4 myomectomy surgeries and chemo, and the love and support of my closest family and friends I made the decision to have a hysterectomy. In that moment I knew I would never be the same. I felt empty, worthless, and unlovable. Marcelo changed that for me. He was so committed to making me feel like I was normal with his endless love and can-do attitude. He made me see what I couldn’t nor could believe. Even though I pushed him away begging him to just find another women who could give him a biological child, he reminded me that I AM the women he has chosen to spend his life with and no matter the mountains we may need to climb, we will find a way! I have known since I was young that I was made to be a mother. I was built for this, until my dream was taken away. I fought for so many years but, God has his plans and I truly believe that he will never give you an obstacle that you cannot overcome. My mom would remind me with every surgery before I went under that I will be ok, and I’m in his hands now. She has always been there to pick me up when I couldn’t, wipe my tears when the pain was too strong, and push me to be strong. I know in my heart if I could be half the mother she is, than I know she will be proud! Marcelo and I have discussed children and our dream to one day become parents knowing the tough and uncertain road ahead, but that will not stop us from trying. We are blessed to be healthy and capable as we have worked hard to have built our new life together thus far but our next step won’t come as simply. We have decided to forgo any materialist items that is typically chosen for a registry in the hopes that our friends and family will help raise funds to have a surrogate child. With the rising expense of procedures and securing a safe and responsible surrogate, we created a “GoFundMe” page for any possible contributions towards our dream of being parents. We are blessed to have each other, but even more to have loving and supportive people around us along the way. Marriage is hard, shoot it’s a full time job! But being a parent is a dream that we hope will one day come true. Thank you for taking this moment to read this and we are excited and nervous and anxious to begin this new chapter together with you all by our sides!! 👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏻 Also, if you know anyone that may be interested in hearing our story and donating, please share our page link!!! God Bless! 🙏🏼

Ok - so everyone has a cliché love story right! So I’ll make this short and sweet! 🤣 Girl works at dealership. Boy becomes a new technician. Girl says hmm he’s cute, but too young, NOPE! Boy becomes friends with girl. They work together for about 2 years. Girl quits dealership and finally realizes that she’s better off alone. Boy seizes the opportunity to ask girl out. Girl says no. Boy asks a few more times. Girl finally says yes, but don’t expect me to get all dolled up. Boy says I’ll take it! Boy and girl hang out, they chat, eat, watch TV and stay up till the sun pops out. Girl says this isn’t a good idea, you don’t want a girl like me. Boy says, yes I do! Girl says no, but calls him the next day asking for his help at Costco. Boy says, I’ll be there! And we have been inseparable ever since! 🤍 ~ THE END~
