Sometimes, love finds you in the most unexpected places—including behind the wheel of a school bus.
Luke Delgado and Vessela Rizvic met in 2022 as the youngest drivers in the FWCS transportation fleet. Both had just earned their CDLs through FWCS and drove routes for Wayne High School. They'd see each other in passing until one day they parked side by side, and they struck up a conversation.
While Vessela continues to drive with FWCS, Luke now drives tour buses for entertainers. Despite different schedules, their relationship grew stronger. They talked about their future together, with Vessela thinking an engagement might happen later in the year.
Luke had other plans. After returning from a tour, he worked with FWCS transportation leaders to arrange something special with bus number 99. That is Vessela's original bus.
One morning, the couple had plans to go out to breakfast. Instead, Luke drove to the old South Transportation facility. That is where they first met. When Vessela saw her old bus in the parking lot, she excitedly hopped aboard. When she turned around, there was Luke - down on one knee. Through tears of joy, Vessela said yes to the proposal that brought their love story full circle. The couple plans to marry next year in Seattle, Luke's hometown.
