Most people dream of falling in love, getting in married, and starting a family in that order, but one mom-to-be knew she had found the love of her life, and didn’t care about the order in which those milestones happened.
Lorenza Pardo and Louis Bruno met five years ago while in college and have been together ever since. Pardo and Bruno had always wanted to get married eventually, but never had the time to think about planning a wedding since both are full-time teachers while also working on their Master’s degrees. “We’ve been together five years, and we were planning on getting married all along,” Pardo said.
Then Pardo found out she was expecting her first child with her long-time boyfriend. “The baby was a little surprise because I was on birth control, but things happen,” she said. “This wasn’t going to change anything, it’s just that things might happen a little out of typical order,” she added.
Two days after 26-year-old Pardo and Bruno found out the incredible news, they called their best friends to share the news. “We FaceTimed them right away, I think two days after we found out, before we told anyone else.” Her friend immediately got in touch with her brother-in-law, a professional photographer, and set up a maternity shoot.
Bruno had been thinking about proposing for a while, and when he heard about the photo shoot, he knew it was the perfect opportunity.
“The photographer had us standing back to back — he said that’s a shot he does with a lot of couples,” Pardo said. “He told me to put my hands on my belly, and then I turned around. I was looking at Louis’ face, so I didn’t see the ring at first.”
“Then, when I saw it, I just broke down,” Pardo said. “I’m an emotional person as is, and especially so with pregnancy hormones. I really don’t even know what he said. I was just crying and shaking.”
