Our Wedding

Our story began through some of the people who know us best. Charlene's cousins and Diego's childhood best friend. What started as a simple introduction quickly became something beautiful and long-lasting.Once Charlene made the move from California to Kansas, our paths finally crossed. From our very first date, there was an undeniable sense of peace, familiarity, and certainty. We didn't just feel a connection, we felt at home. We both knew in our hearts that this was the beginning of forever.We truly believe God brought us together at the perfect time. Not a moment too early, not a moment too late. But exactly when He intended. When we were both ready. Ready to love deeply, to grow together, and to build a life rooted in faith, commitment, and purpose.What followed was a love that felt intentional, steady, and God-led. A love that continues to remind us daily that the best things happen when we trust His timing.This is only the beginning of Our Story, and we can't wait to spend the rest of our lives writing it together!
