We met at McDonald's-just another ordinary day that turned into the start of somthing unexpected. Sandy was behind the counter, working her shift, and Jose was just a customer grabbing a meal. But she noticed him. Maybe it was luck, maybe it was fate, but instead of letting him walk out the door like any other customer, she did somthiing bold-she asked for Jose's number.

From that moment, everthing changed. What started as late night conversations quickly turned into somthing real. Before long, we were inseperable. Then came the news-we were expecting a child. At just 19, it was a lot to take in.

Growing up in the Christian church, there was no question about what came next. The pressure was immidiate- faith, family, and the expectations of those around us made it clear: if we were having a baby, marriage was the only way forward. So, ready or not, we took the step.

It wasnt a perfect start, but it was ours. Young, in love, and navigating the weight of responsibility, we stepped into marriage with hope, uncertainty, and a commitment to figure it out together.
