Jene wrote: Zak and I have been together since 2014 and he proposed to me on Christmas Eve in 2018. Nothing in our relationship has been traditional, he introduced me to his family before we were officially dating, which I was not prepared for. But our families have welcomed us both and we started our own family in 2016. Our daughter Ella is not just the apple of our eyes, she's the whole orchard, and is so excited to be our flower girl. Through the years, we have been there for each other, grown, matured, and our love has never wavered.
We have struggled financially with planning our wedding and budgeting for it. Making sure we get married soon is so important for us, especially since Zak's mom has Multiple Myeloma (a bone and blood cancer) and her being able to come means the world to us. With her cancer advancing, our family is hopeful to be able to include her in as many milestones as possible. His mom and our daughter have an unbreakable bond so I also know seeing Ella as our flower girl will mean the world to her.
After losing my mom to pancreatic cancer in 2008 and seeing my stepdad struggle with his health, we know planning important milestones like our wedding, soon is imperative. It was beyond bittersweet to get pregnant have my daughter, and get engaged without my mom. I know that shopping for a dress, getting ready for my wedding, and celebrating without my mom will be heartbreaking, but I am grateful that the family who will attend are there with us.
We are so grateful and excited to have this once in a lifetime opportunity.
