OUR STORY BEGAN LONG BEFORE WE EVEN KNEW IT. YEARS BEFORE WE OFFICIALLY MET, WE HAD ALREADY SAT AT THE SAME OKTOBERFEST TABLE BY COINCIDENCE, BACK WHEN JESSY HAD JUST ARRIVED IN MUNICH. YEARS PASSED AND WE DIDN'T RUN INTO EACH OTHER AGAIN, DESPITE HAVING MANY FRIENDS IN COMMON - AND JEAN HAS A LOT OF ECUADORIAN FRIENDS!

 

EVENTUALLY, AS TIME WENT BY, WE SAW EACH OTHER AT PARTIES AND EVENTS BUT DIDN'T GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO TALK. UNTIL IN 2020, WHEN WE WERE AT JESSY'S ROOMMATE BIRTHDAY PARTY AND STARTED REALLY TALKING FOR THE FIRST TIME. THAT SAME DAY WE REALIZED THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING BETWEEN THE TWO OF US.

 

WE STARTED SEEING EACH OTHER MORE OFTEN AT GATHERINGS UNTIL ONE DAY WE WENT WITH OUR FRIENDS TO KOENIGSSEE. ON THAT HIKE, IN THE FOREST NEAR THE LAKE, JEAN OFFICIALLY HELD JESSY'S HAND FOR THE FIRST TIME. AND AS THEY SAY, THE REST IS HISTORY.

 

AFTER ALMOST FOUR YEARS, WE ARE IN BRAZIL WITH OUR CAT CAROLO. NEITHER OF US COULD HAVE IMAGINED IT BACK WHEN WE COINCIDED AT THE SAME OKTOBERFEST TABLE YEARS AGO.

 

WE ARE EXCITED TO START THIS NEW STAGE IN OUR LIVES, AS A MARRIED COUPLE, READY TO BE COMPANIONS ON THIS JOURNEY. AND WE ARE HAPPY THAT OUR LOVED ONES CAN BE A PART OF THIS CELEBRATION OF OUR LOVE.
