From high school sweethearts to forever. 🤍

Minerva and Cooper’s love story began during a season of new beginnings. Shortly after moving from Mexico and starting a new chapter of her life, Minerva met Cooper in high school. A friendship turned into something more when he invited her to Homecoming, and the rest was history.

Together, they grew from high school sweethearts to college sweethearts, and finally, husband and wife. Their wedding was a beautiful celebration of a love that has grown right alongside them. ✨
