Our Love Story

I remember meeting Adam at church in 2008, I was going into the seventh grade and he was in eighth grade. We both were serving at a youth event and he was my new friends brother. Right from the beginning my heart would skip a beat and I would get the butterfly's in my stomach- but I was to young and dumb to actually make any good decisions. 

I was such a drama queen. I think I still am at times. Anyway now we are both in high school I am going into my Sophomore year and Adam was going into his Junior year when we started courting. Everyone at church knew we were a thing even though my parents didn't yet. We were in love, we shared everything together he was and still is my best friend. We served at church together as the sound and visual team for the youth group it was like we were unstoppable. 

I was a dancer both at school and in our church Folkloric group and Adam would make it to every performance and every show, with flowers and a smile. He was my number one cheerleader always willing to help me get to and from practice or bring me some food during long practices. He was an amazing guy and I a lucky girl. Finally my Senior year of high school I tuned 18 and Adam asked my parents if he can be my boyfriend. After that we spent anytime we could together. We both gradated high school and now it was time for the real world.

We had been dating for a couple of years and now just turned 20, when we decided to take a break and rethink what we wanted in our lives and if it was still each other. We were both heart broken tried to live our separate lives. Less then 2 months after our break, it was clear that Adam and I were meant to be together. We would meet up and talk for hours on end about our future together, and what we thought God had planned for us.

My family was not understanding with my decision and I felt like I was in place in my life where I needed to leave my home. I moved out of my parents house the same day I told my parents that Adam and I were getting back together. I do not regret moving out without my parents blessing, it was the right thing to do in my life. After moving out we had a better more balanced relationship together we started back were we left off, full of love, but this time with a better plan for us.

August 14, 2016 Adam got down on one knee in front of his family on a beautiful sunny day in Lake Arrowhead, which was a place that already held so many memories for us. It was so perfect and I was beyond happy to become Mrs. Stephanie Fernandez. We planned our wedding in eight months, time flew by but not fast enough some days.

Our wedding day was everything I ever wanted. I woke up that morning after not being able to sleep the night before to get ready. My makeup and hairstylist arrived and my bridesmaids helped me into my white mermaid dress. I had a long veil and blue shoes that matched my bridesmaids dresses. Nearly ten years after meeting each other, finally I was going to marry my high school sweet heart, my prom date, my prince charming. The boy who I would stay up way to late talking on the phone with, the boy I just always wanted to be near. Surrounded by family and friends, with so much love and support, and most importantly before God. I walked down the isle to marry my bestfriend. At last we were married, till death due us apart, to live our life filled with love and respect together as one. Mr. and Mrs. Adam and Stephanie Fernandez!
