Julio stood on the rim of a Hawaiian Volcano with Meryssa by his side. Ten years ago, they had been kids who had met on a soccer field at their high school. Now, they were surrounded by the awe-inspiring beauty of nature. They were not just best friends and partners, but Kindred Spirits.
Julio was the man Meryssa had prayed for. She wanted a love as powerful as the one her parents had. From the first moment, she noticed he was charming, funny, and passionate. Soon, she would realize that he was also hardworking, selfless, and a romantic. He was always putting others before himself. He shared her love for adventures and Disney. He was her beast and she was his beauty. 🥀💛
Meryssa was the woman who always gave Julio unwavering support through every adventure and challenge they faced together. She was enchanting, adventurous, yet nurturing. Meryssa’s charm and grace captivated everyone around her, making every moment magical. She had the innate ability to bring warmth and comfort to those around her. She fearlessly embraced new experiences, making life an exhilarating journey.
In those moments of shared joy, mutual understanding, and deep connection, Julio knew Meryssa was the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. So with Waikiki and the world before them, Julio proposed, and Meryssa said, “Yes.” Forever begin on April 27, 2024
