Our Wedding

Nuestra Historia Fantástica! :)

Gloria y Josu&#233; se conocieron a trav&#233;s de amigos cercanos de la iglesia durante una cena semanal que su amigo TN organiz&#243; en su complejo de apartamentos, llamado &#8220;The Quadrangle&#8221;.
 
Poco a poco, comenzaron a pasar tiempo juntos con amigos en com&#250;n durante varios meses, disfrutando de actividades como jugar al frisbee, patina, y ir al autocine.
 
Un d&#237;a, Josu&#233; le pidi&#243; a Gloria que lo acompa&#241;ara a la boda de un amigo. Mientras bailaban juntos, se dio cuenta de que bailaban muy bien juntos. Unas semanas despu&#233;s, Josu&#233; finalmente le pidi&#243; una cita a Gloria. Le envi&#243; un mensaje de texto que dijo: "Nunca hemos pasado tiempo a solas, &#191;te gustar&#237;a salir conmigo?". Por supuesto, ella no pudo evitar decir: "&#161;S&#205;!". Tuvimos nuestra primera cita en el restaurante Alpha Omega, tomamos una bebida en One Day, fuimos a bailar m&#250;sica country en Melody Ranch, paseamos por el centro de la ciudad e incluso nos encontramos con una competencia de Ironman (corrida, natamiente, y bicicleta).
 
Despu&#233;s de unas semanas, est&#225;bamos tallando calabazas y formalizamos nuestra relaci&#243;n. Despu&#233;s de cuatro a&#241;os, tres rupturas (debido a que no estaban listos y ten&#237;an cosas que resolver) y bastantes sesiones de consejer&#237;a prematrimonial, aqu&#237; estamos, listos para dar el siguiente paso.
 
Estamos eternamente agradecidos a Dios por habernos encontrado en nuestras vidas. Tambi&#233;n estamos agradecidos con nuestras familias, amigos y la comunidad que nos ha apoyado a lo largo de estos a&#241;os. &#161;Vengan a celebrar, bailar y compartir nuestra boda con nosotros!

Our Fantastic Story! :)

Gloria &amp; Josu&#233; first met through dear friends from church while at a weekly dinner that their friend TN would host at his apartment complex, The Quadrangle.
 
Slowly, they began hanging out along with mutual friends over the course of several months - enjoying things such as disc golfing, skating, and going to the drive in theater all together.
 
One day, Josu&#233; asked Gloria to be his plus one to a friend&#8217;s wedding. While dancing - he began to notice that they naturally danced well together. A few weeks later, Josu&#233; finally asked Gloria out. He texted and said "I've never spent time with you one on one, would you like to go out sometime?". Of course, she couldn't help but say "YES!!". We went on our first date to restaurant Alpha Omega, shared a drink at One Day, went country dancing at Melody Ranch, walked downtown, and even ran into an Ironman competition!
Weeks later they were carving pumpkins and made things official. 4 years, 3 break ups (due to not being ready/having things to work out), and some wonderful premarital counseling later, here we are now, ready to get this show on the road.
 
We are eternally thankful to God that we encountered each other in our lives. We are also grateful for each of our family, friends, and supportive community members throughout our years together. Come celebrate, dance, and share our wedding together!
