n November 12, 2007, Maria and Adam had their first born – daughter Aaliyah – after having been dating for three years. At 20 years of age, Maria was still pursuing her last year at University. With plans to have their own home and settle as a family, Maria embarked on her career as a teacher. Adam soon started his job as an offshore oilfield worker and having spent so many evenings together at the St Julian’s pitch, having to say ‘goodbye’ every couple of weeks was hard. However this soon became routine and they bought a house together. Plans for the big day were on the horizon and although a rough patch pushed them to take separate paths for some time, their love grew deeper and stronger.

“We decided to move in together and live the dream we always wanted to live, as a family together with our precious daughter,” Maria says. “Living together was a pleasant experience which brought us even closer”. Two years later they started planning for their second child and Maria shared the news with Adam that they were to become parents again over the phone in August 2013. They tied the knot a year after welcoming their son Zach. Feeling secure and settled, it was the right time for them to celebrate their love with their family and children. “We were both delighted with this decision and couldn’t wait to tell our parents and relatives. The planning for the big day started and within eight months we had all the wedding arranged,” Maria says.
