Maria and Henry met during their freshman year of high school in geometry class. They sat next to each other, and Maria developed a massive crush on Henry. Henry developed a massive crush on Maria's homework answers and pursued those instead of her. During COVID, they lost touch and spent the next few years as casual acquaintances. In their senior year of high school, the two met once again in the same math class, only this time it was calculus. They once again sat next to each other, and this time Maria's nonstop chatting did peak Henry's interest. There was just one problem however, Maria was dating somebody else. Henry settled for friendship instead. When Maria's relationships ended, Henry got his second shot, and he knew he had to go for it. Henry finally calculasked her on a date, and their feelings grew exponentially (math pun). Maria was reluctant because she knew she would be leaving for college within the year. Henry reassured her that it didn't matter where she was in the country, he still wanted to give a relationship a try. They spent the remainder of their senior year going to dances and sports games and eventually graduating together. After one summer together, Maria left for college in Texas. They spent her freshman year talking on the phone every single night. More importantly, they spent that year growing closer than ever before to each other and to God. On March 30th, Henry was baptized, and he knew then that a life with Maria is God's plan for him. On June 1st, 2024, Henry proposed to an unexpecting Maria who thought an engagement wasn't coming until her junior year (she had a plan, Henry had a different one). Despite this change of plans, Maria of course said yes because she knew Henry is going to be the best husband. The two then began to plan their future together and the Tripp Wedding was the first on the list. They are so excited to celebrate with you on their big day!
