Karina & Edgar

2009-08-20T14:38:00.000-07:00

Hi there!!!
We are excited to share Karina & Edgar's E-session, but that's not all. You will also get to know a little bit about their love story & proposal. I hope you all enjoy the photos. We had a really good time photographing them. Let us know what you think????

Strangers*Friends*Lovebirds

Strangers

Edgar and I met back in 2004. I was working for a local fitness center and I befriended a co-worker. She and I would usually go out with her group of friends, which in this case Edgar was one of them. To be honest a couple of months passed and I became good friends with his friends but not once exchanged words with him!

Friends

Not until spring break 2005 is when a kiss changed everything...from then on we had those late night long conversations on the phone but never really showed affection. We were more like good friends who secretly liked each other but were too scared to admit.

Down the road Edgar finally declared his love for me, but I was too scared to commit to him because I thought if our relationship didn't work out then our great friendship would be ruined. With that in mind Edgar never gave up on us, he was always so sweet to me and I knew I could always count on him. Deep down I always felt there was something more to us than just "friends".

July 20, 2007 is when we made it official!!! Oh my gosh we were inseparable...we spent every single day together trying to recover all the time spent apart. Who would of known that our love blossomed from strangers to friends to lovebirds!!!

The Proposal

Even as friends we would always talk about marriage! For me that subject felt some how impossible being that we weren’t even a couple! Edgar was always so sure he was going to marry me...and he was soooo right! Though we always talked about growing old together, when he took me into Kay Jewelers was such a surprise! I couldn’t believe he was actually doing this...August 9, 2008 he bought me the most beautiful ring, 2 1/2 carat princess cut with traditional round diamonds escalating from small to big on each side of the ring! And just like that we were engaged, I was speechless! It was sooo cute he was nervous saying his little speech..."Karina I Love you will you marry me?" "of course" we hugged and kissed, just perfect!

Hi Everyone,
This is Lupita. I would like to Personally Thank all the brides & Groom for submitting their love Story. I love my Job! working with people in love on a daily basis, fills my life with Joy & happiness. I cried going over some of the love stories, & it was very difficult to select just one. Due to the amount of beautiful Love stories submitted, we decided to award 2 Lucky couples. One will be selected by our fans from the five best Love stories, coming May 15th. And Jay & I have already selected our favorite. Congratulations to Amanda & Jason

Beautiful Sunrise, magical Couple.... We had a great time!!!

Awesome couple!!

I was touched by Amanda's Story! How she moved her wedding to the Valley to have her grandpa by her side. May God Bless her!

"Even though we both live in Corpus Christi we decided to have our wedding in McAllen because of my grandfather. The only way that Papo would be able to make our wedding is if we brought it to him and that is what we are doing. Jason was so wonderful to agree to a wedding in McAllen and I am grateful that he understands how important it is for Papo to see us getting married.
I am truly blessed to have met my soul mate and I can’t wait for our wonderful life together as husband and wife. He is truly the love of my life!"
By: Amanda Perez
