The tale of Jose and Teresa began in the year 2014, when first they met and forged a friendship both rare and steadfast. Time, gentle yet unrelenting, carried them forward and with it, a quiet knowing began to stir. By 2019, their hearts, though unspoken, leaned ever closer one toward the other. Yet fate, in its wisdom, bade them wait. And so they remained friends still holding fast to a bond neither time nor distance could undo. Then, as though guided by unseen hands, the year 2022 brought them together once more. But this time, all was changed. Where once there was hesitation, there was now certainty. Where once there was patience, there was now readiness. And so they fell, swiftly and surely into a love that had long awaited its hour. For it was not newly made, but rather revealed…as though their hearts had always known what was yet to come. Now, on this day, they stand before us , no longer two paths wandering, but one road joined, ready to begin the next chapter of their story, hand in hand, and heart with heart.
