HOW WE MET

First comes Match, then comes Marriage...

We met by sheer divine orchestration. What started as just a chat message on a
dating app became a three-hour-long phone call the first time we spoke, and many
more 6-hour plus phone calls and multiple days connecting, conversing, and
learning about each other - our values, vision, compatibility and connection.
Then we FINALLY went on our first date, and thereafter, a second date that set
the tone for what became apparent, as we kept dating. Our interaction was easy,
enjoyable and inspiring. We soon realized that we comprehended and complemented
each other very well. Here was a second chance at love and happiness that God
was presenting to us. We got engaged on December 29, 2023, and started the first
step of our future as a married couple in a private civil ceremony on March 10,
2024, which was the birthday of Alexandra (the bride). Now we are ready to take
the second step into our future together, in the presence of our families,
friends and closest allies on August 30, 2024, which is also the birthday of
Eric (the groom). We chose our birthday(s) as a symbolic day to make our
declarations, take our most important vows to each other, and celebrate our
union. We are grateful to have the love, support, and friendship present in our
relationship, and even more blessed to have our families and friends usher us
into this new season of unwavering love and joy.




SCHEDULE

Here's what to expect during our wedding, which starts at exactly 4 pm prompt
