Our Story
Carol and Alejandro’s journey is a beautiful testament to love, faith, and God’s perfect timing. From the moment they met, they knew their connection was something special. On December 28, 2024, Alejandro asked the question that would change their lives forever, and Carol joyfully said YES!
Now they’re excited to begin this new chapter, standing before God and surrounded by their loved ones, to celebrate the blessing of their love.
How We Met
Carol and Alejandro’s adventure began in 2023 when fate (and a little help from the internet) brought them together. From their very first conversation, they felt an undeniable spark. With endless laughter, exciting adventures, and unforgettable moments, it didn’t take long for them to realize they had found something truly special in each other.
Our Life Together
From the moment Carol and Alejandro met, their love has been rooted in faith, trust, and unwavering support for one another. As they prepare to say “I do” in December 2025, they are deeply grateful for the path God has guided them on. They look forward to a life filled with love, laughter, and His endless blessings. They plan to settle in beautiful Haines City, close to family & friends, along with their fur-daughter Lupita.
