How They Met

Araceli’s journey to love took an unexpected turn when her persistent coworker extended multiple invitations to visit a local church. Intriguingly, the selling point for Araceli was the promise of meeting the perfect guy, especially considering her love for anime. After 16 invitations, a gentle nudge from Araceli’s mom convinced her to embrace the opportunity that seemed to be guided by a higher force.

Upon attending the church, fate played its hand when Jose, noticing Araceli and her coworker, initiated a simple introduction that blossomed into a two-hour conversation. Jose, sharing a recent accident that led him to miss a wedding and time with his family, spoke about finding peace through the word “collision” in his reflection on the incident. Araceli was captivated by Jose’s faith and, after exchanging numbers, their journey into a beautiful relationship began.
