We’re getting married !

Yolita: Our love story is definitely one for the books. Gustavo and I met 15 years ago when we were both 14! Being young I was always outgoing and able to talk to anyone, him on the other hand has always and still been extremely shy and quiet. But ey! that’s exactly how we balance each other out. I can be quite dramatic at times, and he always knows the right thing to say to calm me down. Gustavo: Your dramatic? Noo never. I have never seen you be dramatic. Yolita: Anywayss, Every so often I’d catch him looking. Gustavo: HA! Yeah right! Yolita: He was sort of weird lol jk babe! And he always became so nervous every single time he saw me coming. It got so bad that he would walk the other way to purposely avoid me. Avoid at all costs! Gustavo: No, it’s because I heard someone call me Yolita: Okayy, eventually he had the courage to talk to me and that was the beginning of everything! Gustavo: It was all part of my plan. Yolita: We started off as friends, then best friend and in high school we dated for almost two and a half years! WOW. Crazy in love teenagers that wanted to spend every second together. During this time, we grew together, laughed together and even fought together but eventually I wanted to spread my wings alone. I decided we needed some time apart and experience life. I knew if it was meant to be one day it will be. To this day I regret breaking his heart. Gustavo: That was one of the hardest moments of my life, but I never lost hope. Yolita: Shortly after graduation I decided to take the leap of faith and continue my education in Illinois while he stayed in Florida. We stopped speaking, which hurt the most because I was not only losing my love, but I was losing my best friend too and our families were long life friends. Gustavo always resented me for breaking his heart. I suck, I know. Gustavo: It was too hard to keep in touch. Yolita: He lived his life, I lived mine, until one day everything changed. Gustavo: Crazy to think that we would find our way back together again. Yolita: Eight years passed, but in 2019 I flew down to Florida, the weekend of Father’s Day and have not seen anyone in years. That day my family was going to the park to celebrate with Gustavo’s family as it’s their family tradition. I was extremely skeptical in attending but somehow, they convinced me to go! Well, that was the best decision of my life. I was so nervous because I knew he was going to be there with his family. Gustavo: I remember how nervous I was because I knew she was here in Florida and had spent time with my family. I kept looking for her brother’s truck every time a car passed by hoping it was them. When I heard her brother music, I began to panic. My hands were all sweaty and I didn’t know what to do or think. I haven’t seen her in years, and I didn’t know what to expect. Yolita: We greeted each other for the first time in eight years and it felt like we never missed any years between us! I felt so comfortable around him and forgot how sweet and caring he was. It was like loosing a best friend and gaining them back all in the same day. It was such an amazing feeling. Gustavo: I fell back in love that day and realized I never stopped. Yolita: **brb crying** After the party, Gustavo showed up at my family home wanting to talk. We talked for hours about our life. He was single and ready to mingle while I was in a relationship that was not meant for me. Eventually, I left Florida and continued to be friends with Gustavo until I built up the courage to leave my life behind and risk it all with him. Gustavo kept all his promises to me and now you all are here counting down the days with us to be finally united for life in marriage with my best friend, my life, and my soulmate. Gustavo: I love you more than I can put in words, but I am so happy that everyone can see me marry the only love of my life. Can’t wait to see you all!
