From Gwen's Perpsective- I met Emilio when I was 14 years old. We started dating the summer before our freshman year of high school and our first "date" was at the VA pool in Clarksburg, WV. That summer we spent every second our parents would allow us together and we soon became inseparable. Quickly, I realized that Emilio wasn't just my summer love or my first love, he was my only love. Although we were young, I knew that we would experience every stage of life together from that point on. Over a decade later, and nothing has changed. We have successfully navigated all milestones together thus far- high school, college (bachelors & masters), and now adult life. We are discovering and living our dreams together! Emilio is the person that has my complete admiration. He is the reason I enjoy life, and the greatest love I will ever experience on earth. I can't wait to be his wife soon!

We are filled with gratitude as we extend our heartfelt thanks to our parents, grandparents, siblings, cherished family members, and dear friends who have played integral roles in our love story. Your presence and unwavering support have enriched our lives, and we are deeply thankful for the sound advice and wisdom you have shared with us over the years. Your love has been a guiding force, and we are truly blessed to have you in our lives. Thank you for being a part of our special journey!
