Alyssa Rodriguez & Adrian Cruz

While Adrian and I are so thankful for all the congratulations and love we’ve received from those in our lives, We have changed the date of our wedding.

The plan was to get married in August of this year, but the state of California extended the official quarantine until the end of August. We wouldn’t be allowed to share our day with everyone we wanted the way we wanted. However, instead of postponing the wedding, we felt God leading us in a different direction.

With only our immediate families and households, the Rodriguez-Cruz wedding ceremony will take place on June 12th, 2020 at 4pm.

We hope you’ll join us virtually this year through Facebook live And next year on June 12th, 2021 hopefully in person!

In the summer of 2014, Alyssa and Adrian met on a missions trip with their youth group to Novato, CA. They had started to get to know each other, shared inside jokes, and developed a pretty good friendship.

But Sadly, Alyssa moved to North Dakota at the end of the summer.

A few months had passed. Adrian and Alyssa hadn’t spoken since and they were reconnected by mutual friends. Their friendship only grew and the two wanted to waited to start dating, until they knew more about one another, were ready for a serious relationship, and could actually talk in person.

After a year of flirting and endless texts back and forth, Alyssa came back to California to visit and it was made official. They were two teenagers dating.

Jump to Spring of 2017 and both Alyssa and Adrian were graduated from high school. Alyssa felt God was her leading back to California. To leave her family was a big deal, but she’d be attending the same church her and Adrian met at and she would have Adrian there!

Since then Adrian and Alyssa have been serving together at La Iglesia De Greenleaf. Being apart of a church community has always been an important thing for both of them, and it made their relationship stronger.

With Christ as the focus of their relationship, the happy couple were able to grow as people and grow as a couple through thick and thin.

Even though they can’t have the wedding they first imagined, they are so grateful that they can get married at their home church. And are so grateful for those that have supported them in this.
