From Elementary School Sweethearts to Engaged! In Summer 2001, Elias and Jasmine met at a middle school academic program. One day, Elias sat by Jasmine and started to probe with questions about who she was. The conversation turned into an everyday occurance, making them bus seat buddies. At the time they both did not have any interest in one another, but thought a friendship would be possible. As the program went on the two started to find a special spark in their friendship. The innocent love blossomed into the following school year. Sharing lockers, holding hands, and meeting at the local park became a simple routine for the young love birds. However, at the end of their 8th grade year, each attended differnet high schools, which made the two split and evolve on their own. Fast forward to Summer 2008, Jasmine decided to go to Elias' house to say "Hi", and catch up. This rekindling was the reigniting of their existing flame. After the reconnection, the two decided to move along into a relationship. That summer of love allowed for fun, laughs, and love that would put the two on a forever "Joy Ride" of love. Now, after years of love, laughs, happiness and joy Elias and Jasmine are ready to say "I Do" forever. The love story continues.. 2.11.21
