It may not have been love at first sight for Jessie and Velia but they did see their future come together Friday.
The couple met at San Antonio Lighthouse for the Blind.
“Velia is totally blind; Jesse has very little eyesight in one eye,” said Nancy Lipton of Lighthouse for the Blind.
This is the Lighthouse for the Blind’s first wedding in their 80-year history.
They see the people they work with as their friends and family, so they wanted to have the wedding at the place they met and work.
The couple has been dating for 10 years.
Velia says she doesn’t think about what Jessie looks like.
“To me it really doesn’t make a difference what he looks like or not. It’s just the way he treats me, that’s what’s important to me,” says Velia.

Nancy said, “When they look at each other and take care of each other, it’s the heart that brought them together. Not the looks or anything else.”
