A Journey of Chance Encounters and Destined Paths In 2018, amidst the hustle and bustle of Bayway Lincoln, fate intervened, and I crossed paths with the love of my life, Saul Garza. At that time, I was diving into my role as an HR Manager while Saul navigated his days as a technician. Little did I know, a chance encounter at the service coffee shop would change the course of our lives forever. I vividly remember that morning, balancing a stack of books as I made my way to grab a cup of coffee before diving into my office duties. As I reached for my caffeine fix, Saul appeared, prompting me with a simple, "Saul Garza?" His casual demeanor masked the fact that I already knew him from my HR role. And so, our first conversation sparked, setting the stage for what was to come. As time passed, Saul's attempts to ask me out became endearing anecdotes in our love story. From his humorous invitation to an Astros game, met with my genuine excuse of evening classes, to our eventual dinner at "The Donkey," where his nerves mirrored my own curiosity, each moment solidified our connection. Despite Saul's desire for a serious commitment conflicting with my dedication to my career, we found ourselves drifting apart for a brief period. However, fate had other plans. A simple invitation to the Houston Rodeo reignited our bond, leading us back to where we left off.

Our journey together spanned five remarkable years, culminating in a momentous proposal on July 9, 2023. The surprise proposal, complete with balloons and a heartfelt question, left me in awe of Saul's thoughtfulness and love. With a resounding "yes," we embarked on the next chapter of our lives. Wedding planning became an adventure of its own, with our dream of a destination wedding in Cancun's Riviera Maya coming to fruition. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Mexico!

As we reflect on our journey from chance encounters to destined paths, one thing remains certain: love has a way of finding us when we least expect it. With Saul by my side, I am grateful for every twist and turn that led us to this moment—a testament to the power of love and the beauty of shared dreams.
